So here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m up to, or at least what I&#8217;m trying to be up to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I&#8217;ve started writing a new fantasy novel, which I blogged a little about <a href=\"http:\/\/catchingadragon.com\/blog\/2015\/01\/23-dragon-teeth-update-1\/\">on my writing blog<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m reading books and watching movies and playing video games (occasionally updating my <a href=\"http:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/mcl\/\">media consumption log<\/a>). This is for research of course.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here are the other projects I hope to be working on soon as well, for the rest of this month and into February 2015:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Continue working on my co-writing projects.<\/li>\n<li>Continue working the musical score for\u00a0<em>Son of a Dark Wizard<\/em>. (I have an overflow of musical themes and ideas at this point, but I still want to keep experimenting with some things before I start actually writing the tracks.)<\/li>\n<li>Start working on that long-dreamed-of web-comic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The web-comic will be based on the children&#8217;s animated series proposal I put together a few years ago, about a young programmer who teams up with aliens to defeat galactic villains. Rather than your traditional web-comic that features a daily panel, I think my comic will be more like storyboard panels that must be viewed one at a time, preferably in full-screen; the user need only to click a button to move to the next panel. Though that sort of format may limit the comic in certain ways, I think it might also allow for a more immersive experience, especially if viewed in full-screen. I just have to figure out how to actually program that, and how I might be able to integrate it into WordPress. And then I have to, you know, actually draw all the panels. So this isn&#8217;t going to be finished anytime soon, but I figure I can go ahead and get started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lot of people (as in one person) have asked me what I&#8217;m doing with myself these days, especially now that my novel Son of a Dark Wizard is indie-pubbed and garnering much acclaim and success, in its own slow way.
