I know I've had some ideas about some posts (probably video game and/or comic book related), but I've been swamped with work lately that I haven't had time to get them down on paper (er...screen...space? I suppose I could write them down on paper first and then it'd be on paper...).
I've been long-termin subbing it since late August at one of the schools that I, well, sub for. There's not much more to it that I'm willing to say, but I am going to be doing that until Thanksgiving (the US one), so that's why the blog has been silent for many moons (ugh, I just made a Native American reference after talking about Thanksgiving, which probably makes me a terrible person).
Along with not updating the blog very often, I've also all but stopped work on editing A Plague Upon Thee and Project Zero: God Sent. So, yeah, one or more of those probably won't make the end of the year deadline I was imposing on myself. Not that I have covers for either, anyway, and that makes a book far less attractive to a reader.
On another note: The DC "reboot" (don't call it a reboot, they've been here for years) has come and gone (yes the books are still around, but the actual act of rebooting the DCU is done with) and while I can't say for certain how the DCnU will look one to five years down the line, I will say that I've been disappointed with the quality of the books thus far. Both from a writing and art(ing) standpoint, I've been left underwhelmed by what I've seen so far.
Most of the female characters have been turned into pale, husked out versions of their former selves (especially Starfire) and it seems like many are just there for men to either have relations with or save from danger (a sign that, perhaps, too many middle-aged men work and/or write for DC).
But that's the end of that rant.
Just wanted to say, yeah, not dead, just busy.
