Comic, Video Game and Job Hunt
Been about a month since I last posted. Not too much to report. I’ve started a new part-time role. The video game I was working on launched a short beta demo. The comic will be completed by month-end, and then on to the harder part of marketing and releasing. By February 2025 both projects should…

Job Hunt Continues, Game and Comics Progressing
Been a while since my last post but here are some quick updates. I recently got a part-time position, and may be getting another in October. So for the rest of the year I may just have to juggle two part-time roles and max out the hours. I’m still searching for something full-time but have…

Anansi Screenplay V2
Back in 2023 I decided to write a screenplay of “Anansi” in order to submit it to a film program. The pitch wasn’t successful, and I then decided to post the screenplay on Black List. I paid for 4 reviews and used the feedback to guide a rewrite of the screenplay. The main parts of…

The Next Journey: Comic Books
I’ve shared previously how I am still querying to get an agent for my book. However, I also shared that after a particular query (which was filled with praise but still said something was missing) I decided that I needed to look into other ways to get published. That is why I started to look…

Self-Publishing Thoughts
I self-published my second book, “The Garden of Abel” back in late March. Since then, there have been very few sales and little buzz. In a previous post, I detailed why I was interested in self-publishing this one. Basically it boils down to the fact that it was previously published through my site already, and…

Anansi Screenplay Revision
So I’m now on one of the last scenes for the “Anansi” revamp. I say revamp since a good portion of the first act remained the same. The biggest changes come from the second act onwards, with the ending being pretty much the same. I believe another twenty pages of work should get me to…

Game Writing Course Complete
Game writing course is all wrapped up. It was a great experience and I was happy with the feedback I got on the final assignment. I got a lot of very encouraging feedback from Adrian Ropp, who was the lead writer for “Hogwarts Legacy.” Breaking into video games as a writer seems tough. Most of…
