Ok, the rain and wind are rather nasty outside, ya gotta love the Pacific Northwest, a good time to hunker down and get some comic book writing done. Sounds good in theory but I tend to procrastinate regardless of weather. I really need deadlines and fortunately I have a bunch of them.

Book one is all scripted. The artist is busy creating beautiful artwork that will compliment my story and bring my creations to life; hopefully we can post a few of the images soon. Most of the main characters have been created visually. A few still need to be worked and some of the details need a little refining, but the production process is rolling forward. The next step we are working on will be posters. I love posters and really plan on creating very iconic images unique to this story. I feel this story is different from most of the stories being told and offers the reader something a little more engaging than the standard pulp fiction.

Overall this week has been pretty slow, but I am starting to finalize the next script for book two. All the scripts for the series have been roughed, but the more you look at the details the more you try to flush out ideas and try some new ones. I just hope I don’t flush too much. I tend to over analyze, when I should just go with my first gut feeling. My goal is to have complete script lock by early December. That way I can keep the artist’s momentum going until the first series is completed. I certainly do not want to hinder the creative process.
Please feel free to drop me a line if you are interested in more details of the “Claw and Fang”. Next week I hope to share some details of the main characters and a little of the storyline.

Cheers,

Mike
