An update

So, some cool news: I'm working on a new project that really excites me, a graphic novel. As I get deeper into the process, I will release more details about it, but for the moment, it's safer to say it is a growing project if which I am a co-creator. It's a noir/detective story set in a post-steampunk gilded age New York City, and explores some interesting themes of society and villainy.

The Brett & Hogarth graphic novel is being put on hold for the time being, as it needs some re-evaluation.

I'm working on writing the book to a musical, and I think it's going to be fun. As above, I will write more about the actualities once I'm further into the process, right now it's in a real gestative state, I don't want to put a lot of pressure on it.

I will be covering the New York City Horror Film Festival for GuestofaGuest, which means, if you're there, we can meet. I will also be happy to talk there about my latest screenplay which is a horror film (obvs) about a Hell House and right wing Christians. I, for one, am pumped about this opportunity, I will have a press pass and get to see a multitude of films and hopefully meet some exceptional people.

Finally, it's nanowrimo, and though I wished to be a participant; it appears some things have thrown that idea off course. I am still working on my novel and rewriting my novel, trying to get the rewrite done soon to take advantage of some interest in the novel from outside sources.

On a different note, I just found a blogger app for my iPhone, so I feel confident saying I will be writing quite a bit more regularly.

The next post I write is going to examine the manner in which I, and some other writers/artists I know experience and deal with allowing our creations out into the world. It can be a heart-wrenching process riddling one's self with doubt.

Play well out there!
