Finished my 150 word synopsis for the Create a Super-heroine Contest. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be to squeeze a three issue limited series plot into 150 words. Now I just have to wait until Feb 4 to find out if I am selected to be one of the semi-finalists. After reading some descriptions of what the judges have received so far, I think mine at least has originality going for it.
I would mention the name of my super-heroine but it is against the rules...or will be. When the contest gets to the voting stage, I can't tell you which one is mine. You can bet that I will put the link up on this blog. You can vote for the one that you like the best and hopefully that will be mine.
I'm on to writing the first five pages of the script. That is the second part of the contest. I'm just going to imagine I already won. Whatever you do, don't break my fragile delusion of grandeur. Tread carefully.

Been a long time
Lest anyone think that my last post was some sort of epitaph...I have returned.
Things should finally be getting back to somewhat normal here. So...what have I been up to (besides dealing with the new bundle of joy that is my daughter)?
Still no word from One Nexus Studios regarding my series proposal for The Ghoul. At this point I am writing them off as a rejection. There is a new contest at www.newsarama.com where you can send in a short paragraph for a series proposal that involves a newly created super-heroine. No, that's not anything the DEA needs to worry about. Shadowline, a comic book company under Image, is seeking the web for a new super-heroine for their line of comic books. I have an idea that is still germinating but which hopes to congeal within the next week. The deadline for the first stage of the contest is the end of January, so the rest of you should get cracking. Well, go on!
I then plan on picking up the YA novel where I left off and running with it. I also will try and shop The Ghoul comic book proposal around to some artists and see if I can't get one to bite. Artists are odd beasts (I should know) and it takes just the right bait to reel them in. I'll keep you updated on how things proceed.
