Both for me and Nichole. Twelve hours ago, I had nothing. Now, I’ve Eps 4 & 5. Four is below; don’t think I can transcribe five until tomorrow: off to Mass in a few, then making steaks for the family afterwards, then anime in the basement.
By the by, I know zero – ZERO – about fashion. If what I describe Nichole as wearing is wrong, please let me know.
On my drive home this evening – after a stop at the UPS Store (work related) – I suddenly knew something about Nichole I did not just seconds earlier. Even better, I “saw” the reveal (in the episode below the fold) as well as something about her physically; that I don’t think will come out for a bit yet, but I might be wrong.
It’s such a joy to be writing again. To be creating again.
Alright, so that’s a bit clichéd. Nonetheless, well sponsored by GoddessFish Promotions, almost a year on, I’m finally getting ’round to promoting “The Fourth Law.”
This virtual book tour includes interviews with me, with some of the characters, blog entries… all sorts of neat things! I’ve much to say not only about this story, but also about creative writing, editing, and self-publishing. Almost each and every day I’ll be hosted by a new website, with their own series of questions and/or comments. I promise to do my best to attentively address whatever anyone may want to discuss about “The Fourth Law” and Machine Civilization.
I think this is going to be a tremendous amount of fun, and look forwards to it very much!
Okay, maybe I do have one friend: my 3-AR Studios business partner. It’s just that we’d not talked in months. So, with me sans family, I invited him over to dinner a couple of weeks ago. Drinks, steaks, more drinks. Then talk.
He talked about this vertical, scrolling format for webcomics he’d run across. It got rid of the annoying page-turning, and also allows for a certain unique consistency and flow of story. We went on to talk about ideas for content… hmmm. What’s been on my mind recently?
Okay: self-aware machines. That’s a start, he said. Go further: turn it past eleven. More drinks. Okay, I replied: vampire androids. We talked more. The next day, I started writing.
Below the fold, in WordPress’s usual hackneyed format, is the prologue of what I’m tentatively calling “Poisoned Hearts.” If you like that, I’ve also added chapter one. I’ve written chapter two and have notes for three. That’s enough raw material for about three 30-‘page’ comics. My colleague still has his own projects, but is making sketches. Cat is cuter than I’d imagined her. Lots of work detailing Christopher’s eyes. Need to write more….
