I am back at the keyboard. Given my last six month slump it is an achievement in itself.
I am working on a short story at the moment. It is the second in the series of feudal Japan fantasy stories involing my ronin Ichiro Yamada. The first one (Children of Yomi) was published in one of Pro Se Productions magazines. Pro Se stopped making them for a while but I hear the mags are coming back.
A friend of mine suggested I write of series of Ichiro tales as there isn't much going on out there when it comes to samurai fantasy in the English reading market. Might as well do something with the lore I've stuffed into my melon, right?
I've found a few target mags to fire this thing off to once it's done. I'm in the home stretch far as a sub to one mag goes as they have a ceiling of 4k. We'll see how long Ichiro #2 turns out to be.
Til next time.

I actually got some writing down today. Not notes, not plot points nor research for this or that.I set myself down and hammered out just over a thousand words. It was an easy thousand too which pleased me to no end. I had the plot and just started writing the opening scene.
It is for a fan fiction site I should mention. It is a new character for me and NOT Marvel related. Not sure how long it is going to work out to be. It ends when the story says it ends I reckon.
In the original works department I am editing and trying to finish a new book.My first book is on Pro Se Productions desk and I expect to know if they are interested in running the horror adventure by mid month July.
The first Grey Mantis short is plotted, the characters are semi fleshed out and I have received good words on his visuals so I might as well get started on that thing.
I've begun work on a web comic but we are definately too early in the process to go into details now. I am the writer for this project.
Lastly I have accepted the gig of writing a 10k short story about a Panday Studios product that like the Mantis is fleshed out and almost ready to be written.
Speaking of Panday Studios I just found out that a comic script, a real tiny one, is back on the production line. Think it just needs lettering and the other shorts for this comic antho to get done and it will be available for purchase.
What are you workin' on?

Return of the Recluse!

OPEN FOR COMMISSIONS
My drawing schedule has cleared some and I am able to offer my services to anyone wishing to purchase them.
Need a head shot for a fan fic site? Be it a new shot of an old character or a pic of your own original character? Maybe a pin up of the hero or villain of your choice? Not limited to the supers either. I have a strong fondness for horror, sci fi and fantasy. I can work up a pencil sketch or ink it if you like. Maybe your original site needs some banner art or something for an ad to promote said site.
Christmas is coming. A little original art goes a long way.
Check out a variety of different things drawn and inked by me here: http://cwilliamrussette.deviantart.com/gallery/
I can provide references should you so desire.
Thanks for your time.

The Word
Real simple.
Workin on the novel. Editing that vampire thing... one... last... time... then sending it. I wash my hands of it either way. Not the world. There's comics and novels and shorts more there. The Shaman's Skin is on it's last edit though.
Also, workin on a comic. Zain Falcon is gone. Not going into it. Developing a fantasy project now. See if I can channel some Howard and Salvatore and maybe a bit of Tolkien.
Gotta aim high right?
Watch for it, lads.
