In which I tell you how I [try to] organize my workday. There's also a video of a Floofy Fox hanging out at the cabin, and I announce the winner of the giveaway!
Hi Torunn, I am still boggling over winning the giveaway for the Odin painting and have sent an email with my details through to you. Now just have to wait for Carnage to come out...
Hi and Happy New Year. I just came across, having listened to the Ideas Don't Bleed podcast. Am I too late to gratuitously grovel for a copy of Carnage?
Happy New Year! I enoy the posts you toss on here, but by the time i am ready to post something, another one has come out it seems. The joys of procrastination in winter. I dig the Carnage issue. I won't have you send any, but if you come to the East Coast again, i'll just have you sign it in person! I don't read much in the Spiderman family anymore, but the Carnage issue made me want to start playing Spiderman on PS5. For Christmas, the wife andI bought tickets to Galaxycon, in Richmond VA, for each other. It seems to be shaping up to be twice as large as last year and has a lot of people showing up. Hope you got wonderful presents. We don't have any wild animals playing in the snow here, only goofy Bernese Mountain dogs who don't like to get their paws wet. Thanks for continuiing to write awesome stuff!
Thanks for the great post on how you organize your projects. I just started using Notion a few months ago, mostly to track personal stuff, but I hope to move all of my worldbuilding/character bios/etc for my book series into Notion so they're not all trapped in separate Scriviner files. When I'm working on a project I end up with notes all over the place (in draft emails, in Microsoft To-Do, in Scriviner) so hopefully Notion can be a central clearinghouse. But maybe the chaos of notes all over the place is good for creativity.
Carnage #1, it really is great. And I had just finished The Dog Sitter Detective. It was a joyful read. Otherwise, waiting for snow. Cause winter just ain't wintry without it. Happy 2024 Torunn
Happy New Year! I’d love a copy of Carnage #1. I only read collected editions, so this would give me the chance to check it out while waiting for the inevitable collection to be released.
"Parental advisory" always makes a good case for reading a comic: there's horror, maybe gore or even maybe some fornication in it, and we can't have enough of that, do we? Well done. At the moment I am reading THE GIRLS by Emma Cline which delivers eery suspense so well it’s a real page-turner. I bought it because I loved THE GUEST so much. A great young voice of American literature to be reckoned with. The film I’m looking forward to the most is POOR THINGS by Yorgos Lanthimos. I can’t wait to see it. I love Cormac McCarthy, since I read THE ORCHARD KEEPER sometimes in the 90s I had to have every book by him. I was overjoyed when he published THE PASSENGER und STELLA MARIS.
I really enjoyed part 1 and 2 of the IDEAS DON’T BLEED-podcast with the one who is loved by Thor, please do that again - anywhere - and let us know. Seldom laughed that much listening to a podcast about comics (and being to America as a foreigner).
Torunn!!! Happy New Year, and thank you so much for the newsletter shoutout! I really appreciate all of your support, and can't wait to keep reading all your excellent new stories to come as well.
Oh my goodness, I've just spent the holiday week ripping through Yellowjackets. A delightful, distressing horror thriller, it's so refreshing to see a cast of characters composed almost entirely of deeply traumatized women surviving untold disasters in the wilderness. It's definitely put a lot of fuel back in my tank for creative ideas for the year.
Happy New Year! I enjoyed this insights on this post. Thanks again for sharing. A signed copy of Carnage would be a much appreciated addition to my collection.
I really enjoyed your Thor run so connected to your newsletter. I particularly enjoyed the piece on organisation. I have been in education for 32 years and have always written, so wanting to do more and have started writing on substack. So the o ways others generate ideas is really fascinating. I am a great student of mythology and have been learning from the mythologist and storyteller Dr Martin Shaw. I am just finished reading ‘Comic Book Punks’ by Karl Stock, which is a history of English comics and I have really enjoyed it and lived through most of it. I am then starting on the novels of Benjamin Myers. My son bought me Radiant Black for Christmas which I am enjoying. I will pick up your Carnage which is not a character I follow. Who would be your dream character to write?
