It is time to update this journal again.
Last year I took part in an independent anthology. It is mostly done and hopefully soon it will finally be ready for print and sale. It seems our original cover plans may fall through so I am keeping a look out for a book cover artist. I have already seen some good designs out there. I will likely put out an official job offer in the next week. The anthology is called Near Myths and features lots of myths, legends, fairy tales, other classics re-imagined.
In other news I started a daily column of sorts on Nerditis.com nerditis.com/ called Your Daily Nerd Thing. I might start reaching out to some artists around here to see if they interested in being the Daily Nerd Thing some time.

Keep Creating that Art
Just wanted to do a quick journal update and say to everyone who might see it. Keep creating that art. Make it part of everyday. Even if it something small keep doing it. Today I managed to do a bit of writing. I have not been good about writing so far this year but today I started something I can really get done.
Most of my art creation this year has been around action figure customization and I will be sharing more of it soon. I have no idea what category that will go into but I will find something.
I was working on the same fantasy novel for almost two years. I recently heard a talk from a fantasy author talking about moving on from ideas
Mercury Is No Longer in Retrograde
You may have heard that Mercury was in retrograde for a while and now it is done. Or maybe you did not here about it at all because you don't follow astrology stuff. I only know about it because I saw it mentioned on a blog that I read. Anyway they claim its bad to start things during those periods because they will be doomed to failure or something. I did not start anything during those weeks. I mostly just kept working on stuff already in progress. I don't know if starting things after Mercury comes out of retrograde helps at all but here it goes.
The creators of Welcome to Night Vale started a new podcast called Start With This. I don't h
C2E2 starts tomorrow
C2E2 begins tomorrow. I will have to get up early to get a good parking spot. I have my snacks ready. I actually made a list of things I am looking for and hopefully will find some good deals. I will talk to the people I usually talk to although I don't have much to show that is any different from the last time I talked to any of them. But keeping it up is the only way to get noticed. I may not have much to show but I have not given up.
I will try to live update on the show on twitter theoriginalDJRM (https://www.deviantart.com/theoriginaldjrm) and instagram theoriginalDJRM (https://www.deviantart.com/theoriginaldjrm)
But the wifi at McCormick Place has not always be reliable in past years so I don't know how consistent my coverage wil
C2E2 is next week
As the title says C2E2 is happening here in Chicagoland again next week. I have my three day pass. I suppose I should come up with some kind of plan for what I want to do. In the past I have tried to schedule some kind of in person meet up with other Chicago area nerds I know from the internet but none of them ever respond.
I should take a look at the C2E2 schedule. Maybe they have some Dungeons & Dragon events. I may pick up more D&D paraphernalia while I am there.
I know Dirk Manning will be at C2E2 again this year and I will talk to him again like always.
I know this year I am going to be on the look out for action figures like
