Holy Content, Batman!

Ballard, WA. Thursday. 10:30PM.

Dear Internet,

Major life news of the past unholy amount of time since I’ve updated:

 

College!

I am attending Goddard College, pursuing an MFA in writing. I am writing short stories, plus comic scripts. Comic scripts are both interesting and frustrating to write. For one thing, I am unsure of how much panel designation to write out and how much to leave to the artist. It’s something I’ll end up developing as a work with artists, I expect.

Speaking of, I’m working with this awesome dude to make a minicomic. I will report more later, and it will be awesome.

As a super-rad bonus, my prose short story “Iron Henry” will be appearing in this Spring’s Pitkin Review. You can pick up a copy of my and other rad writings from Goddard for a mere $12.

 

Podcast!

Trade Secrets is the podcast I contribute to! Hear me and some other geeks natter on about comics. It’s like Oprah’s book club, but for comics, and with a lot more dumb jokes.

If you’re not sure where to start, here are a couple of my favorites:

Ep. 3: Locke and Key by Joe Hill

Ep. 4: The Unwritten by Mike Carey

Ep. 19: Invincible by Robert Kirkman

Ep. 20: Adolf by Osamu Tezuka

 

That’s all for now! Stay tuned for actual updates. For reals.

Love,

Anne

Saturn: Part I

planetary-alignment

*image credit Richard McCoy via http://www.universetoday.com Here’s another excerpt from one of my Paradiso interviews. This one hits particularly close to home for me; I’ll let you know why at the end of the interview. Early Life I’ll start like Dickens: I was born. I was born in Dayton, Ohio. My first event that probably …

Jupiter, Part Three

Part Three: Paradise I think paradise can be inside or outside or a combination. I think that when you find your soul place to be, where you belong, when you’re…I think there’s probably degrees of it. When you find peace inside yourself, when you happen to be surrounded by people who you love and who …

My Horrible Dystopian Future is Coming to Pass of the Day

In my novel, Freedomland, I write about a dystopian future in which society is controlled by colorful animated advertising that displays on people’s technological implants. One out of two…check. Here’s the explanation from the creators, alt.CES.

NaNo Days 7, 8

Day 7: 3,000 words. Day 8: 300 words. Sigh. Days with work AND class are rough. It’ll all even out somewhere.

NaNo Day 4

Plugged away and wrote 1,000ish words, now I’m going to bed. Horrible prose sins I have comitted: *unnecesary said tags *locomotion writing *ill-placed lengthy flashbacks which interrupt the flow of narrative. BUT! I am aware that I am committing these sins, which is important. Plus, you can get a NaNoWriMo merit badge for padding your …

NaNoWriMo Day 3: Limerickish

There once was a girl from Seattle Who refused to give in to death’s rattle When it came to her prose, So she said, “I suppose that I’ll write a lot of really craptactular scenes using just the sort of terrible clunky prose that I’m carefully editing away from in November Girls, but it’s all …

NaNo Day 2: Haiku

Five hundred-ish words. A day filled with homework, but no class tomorrow.

NaNo Day 1

Wrote over my lunch hour*. Stayed up inadvisably late to finish my word count. Today was a class day, so that made it harder. Total word count: 1,670. I am right on par. *”You writing a paper?” “Novel.” “What, in here?” (vague expression of panic, as if novel-writing were a sacred activity to be carried …

NaNo Eve

nanowrimo_05_120x240

It is time, kids. Time for what, you may ask? That most wonderful time of year, and I don’t mean when the drug stores put out Christmas decorations, because that happened yesterday. I mean NaNoWriMo. It’s time for me to sit down and work in quantity, busting out a 50,000 word novel in a month. …
