I'm actually working on writing in a creative sense for the first time in my life. This is not really the reason I haven't been updating here--that lends more to me having about zero time to myself since my girl and I spend pretty much all of our waking hours together (not a bad thing, mind you).
Nobody reads this blog anyways (which is exactly the point of the blog), so it's not too big a deal letting out some of my secrets here, but I figure I'll still keep it vague just in case.
I'm working on a script for a comic book series/graphic novel/sequential art story, that right now looks like it will be around 72 pages long.
It centers on an MMA fighter with a rebellious streak that has gotten him in trouble. It will deal with issues of male aggression (and modern masculinity in general), capitalism, bucking institutions, and a somewhat unique take on the traditional revenge tale.
Nobody in this comic has super powers or abilities beyond that which you can find in our real world, although the universe it takes place in is slightly different in a few ways.
I've got a very rough idea of the volumes of the book, broken down into 3 different sections with 3 separate mini-arcs.
But before I get to any story details, I'm still in the process of fleshing out the main character and his backstory, motivations, abilities, and such.
My cousin will likely be doing the artwork for it, if I can convince him to work for free. Otherwise, I'm going to have to shop around the internet and try to find someone whose style reflects what I'm going for here.
Anyways, just wanted to drop a quick update about that, and since I don't want to talk about this to too many people, this will likely be the spot where I update about my progress on the writing front.
