Let me preface this by saying, I just looked through the entire store of FloyDman comics, out of boredom. It's 4:00 in the morning and I don't know that I'm quite ready to go to sleep. I guess that's a good enough reason to post a journal entry.
I have two new FloyDman comics waiting to be scanned. They'll be up Sunday. One is semi-autobiographical. Well, it was inspired by a conversation I had with myself, and the other was one I was wanting to make for a while, involving Pantsless Steve. I do plan on returning to the Society of Evil sometime soon. I'm thinking of a confrontation with Winston Churchill, as he is, of course, the leader of the Society of Good.
So, news outside of FloyDman, I am working on a new book called These Shopkeeping Souls--the name is taken from a quote by Soren Kierkegaard. My friend happened to have her mom look at it, who happened to let her editor look at it, which has me somewhat excited about it. I'm about half-way finished with it. I want to know what this editor says, but I also don't, as I am heavily influenced by Victorian novelists and do no consider myself a modern writer. Modern writers are people like. . .Well, I don't know any names, but they write books like the Twilight series or memoirs about how crappy their childhood was. I had a wonderful childhood and would really like to focus on what I consider adult issues. My influences and predisposition seems to be a problem though, as both my friend's mom and the editor both agree that I have too much rambling in my narrative. I like a little rambling in my narrative. Dickens did it, Trollope dit it (bad example), Hardy did it, Bronte did it (Charlotte, not the other, lesser Brontes). I ramble, but I never stray from the story, at least. Anyway, that's pretty much it. If I get any kind of publishing deal, be sure, I'll be mentioning it here and everywhere else.
That is essentially the news. Oh, of course there was the minor detials, but I prefer to leave them to speculation. They're so much more interesting that way. Have a cool and beautiful autumn. I'll try to do the same, while I shut myself away for the season.
