The Diary Of A Novice Comic Book Writer

What to look forward to: A Writing Update

I’ve been a busy bee writing and it’s coming along slowly but surely. I do have some updates and things that you all can look forward to:

This Saturday July 14th at 10 am: Womanthology Signing at the Acme Superstore on 434 in Longwood, FL. 

Next week July 16th-20th Talking Comics  will have a Woman in Comics Week. Everyday I’ll post an interview with a lady in comics. I’ll have an interview from Nicole Sixx and four other ladies! I’ll also be posting each day a Character Spotlight where I’ll spotlight five of my favorite women comic characters.

At Comics Crux, I’m writing a Journey Into Manga and Anime Column which is geared towards those who are interested in getting into Manga and Anime as well as those like myself who have been out of the loop for a while but want to jump back in. I need you to send me your anime/manga artwork, AMV’s (Anime Music Videos), and anime/manga cosplay pics for me to pick my favorites and feature in my column each week. Email me taliadina@gmail.com. Comics Crux’s site launches in September but they’re on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Pinterest, and Google+

Necrocalia is coming along slowly but surely. I wrote a six page origin story for one of the main characters and Steve’s working on the illustrations. So look for that soon! I’m also working on something secret for Necrocalia just keep your fingers crossed!

As always check out my Comicmanaics column on the Fanboy Buzz,  there will be more webcomic/comic spotlights and interviews with indie creators to come soon on Why Not Indie’s site as well.

I also do music album reviews and related articles over at Toonari Post too.

That’s all for now. More to come soon!

A Member of the Press

Evening folks! Here’s another update for ya!

Well I’m a member of the press. I’m a contributor for WhyNotIndie.com, Fanboybuzz.com and Toonari Post (which I will be writing articles soon).

I don’t get paid but that’s fine because I get to attend cons for free (I just have to pay for travel expenses), I get to read comics for free (especially if they’re comics that haven’t been yet), and I get to improve my writing. So that’s great for me. 

I have my own column on Fanboybuzz.com entitled Comicmaniacs (http://www.fanboybuzz.com/category/columns/comicmaniacs/). In my column I do Classic Comic Review and Comicmanaic Spotlight so check it out. 

I’m still working on my comic book ideas. I’ve created three blogs for three out of the seven of my ideas here on Tumblr so please check them out. Here are the links:

Defect:

Tzedek:

Necrocalia:

 In the future I hope that I can get these three ideas published and into stores. I’m looking for an artist or artists for these ideas! So far, Defect had a 4 page story published in Womanthology: Heroic so check that out! Tzedek will have a 3 page story published in The Gathering Comic in April 2013. 

Alright so that’s what’s been going on. I hope I can attend some more cons in the future. I also need to make business cards. I’m on a budget so any ideas?

Okay that’s all for now!

Later!
