Neil Gaiman: On Originality →
neil-gaiman:
There are about 5,300 ASK messages right now sitting in the queue. Which is why yours hasn’t been answered, I expect.
One question I keep seeing over and again, even more than “What MFA program should I do?” (I do not answer this, because my answer would probably be: “I have no idea. I never did…

Neil Gaiman: On Writing. (A bit long. Sorry.) →
neil-gaiman:
I got up this morning, and read the thirty or so questions that people had left in the last 8 hours. And apart from the few that wanted to tell me that, honestly, there’s nothing in the whole world like a photo of a gentleman holding a small yellow chainsaw, most of the rest of them were writing…
Wonder Writer
Okay, so, hmm, yes, I knew I’d be writing this once today’s This Week In Pendant came out, so you’d think I’d have thought it through by now and it wouldn’t feel quite so much like a minefield. But here goes.
Let me start with just the facts: Yes, I will be writing Wonder Woman: Champion of Themyscira (a Pendant Production) starting with episode (or issue, if you...

And so with those immortal Bill and Ted words:
Today I was sad to see comics posted without credit somewhere for the millionth time, and aired my frustration on twitter. It gets me down sometimes, even though we all know what the internet is like! Credit the artists whose comics you post! They…
Pendant needs artists!
pendantaudio:
Any artists out there who might be interested in doing covers for Pendant? Please share or pass to anyone you think might be interested!
A lil' Q and A, part one
This is stupendously brilliant and you should read it even if you have no interest in cartooning. Surely you have an interest in something and that counts.

Hey there! It’s question and answer time! A few weeks ago I put out an open call for questions about the comics industry. A penance maybe, for having so many unanswered emails on these kinds of topics. I’m sorry! My email is...

what I'm up to: much more generally
I forget that people find my Tumblr in ways other than because of the stuff I do for Pendant or knowing me for twenty plus years or whatever, so let me do a periodic “hi, this is the stuff I do!” post here.
Hi! My day job is system administration for a state university and we will not speak of it further. This is about what I do the rest of the time. Well, I’m a husband and a...

whoops, or what I'm up to these days
I recently declared that I’d use Tumblr henceforth largely to share stuff that is at least tangentially related to my creative efforts, and then… came up with nothing much to share. Sorry about that. Of course, in a few days Green Arrow: Shooting Star #13 will go live and I’ll share that.
I do have some new work coming up but — and everyone surely hates this behavior, I...

Rather than black out my Tumblr (a pretty pointless act, as few people follow it and surely you already have heard about this stuff elsewhere), let me provide some solid reading on the subject.

Written by Christopher Priest (the UK novelist, not the comics guy) and revamped a few times over the years. Absolutely fascinating reading.
