Comic books and writing


Read some comic books today, finally catching up with my reg prescripts.

Wow! The ending of Astonishing X-men #4 actually surprised me. And the beginning of the Avengers: Dissembled storyline's looking like it will be interesting.

Wish I could say the same about Wonder Woman #207. I'm still ambivalent about Rucka's run and am beginning to understand why folks are considering his pacing to be a bit slow.

Then there's Superman #208.

I normally don't collect the Man of Steel. But I've always liked Lee's art and so decided to give the issues a shot. Oops! The so-called more "realistic" dialogue with lack of explanation is beginning to wear on my nerves, not entice me to get the next issue. Wish I had held off until the collected book was released.

Now, where's those other issues...?

Spent a good portion of the day working on my works-in-progress. Yikes! Fallen so far behind in all of them. I created files for those I had notes, outlines, and even chapters and was surprised when I read the seven excellent results. Wow. Muse peered with interest and became excited that I had to shoo Her out of the room to keep the peace. Fortunately, the few folks in the coffee shop barely noticed (though I bet the staff was annoyed again with the glitter.) A good beginning.

So much to write and there's never enough time!


One of the promises I made to myself is to review at least every novel I finish. I later mentally added discussing my experiences at author signing.

Well, you know what they say about making promises you can't keep.

Here's my current backlog of books to review since I started Way:


Here are the signings:


Whew! Thankfully I hadn't added my comic books, graphic novels, and role-playing game supplements to the review. Yet.

I know I can do review them all. In time. I need to determine in what order, though. Shall I start with most recent books and signings? Or start with the oldest? Want to get caught up by year's end, preferably earlier.

I also need to figure the nature of the posts for both Way and Forge and when to update (or to even keep the blogs). Ugh.

Decisions, decisions....
