In a similar vein to yesterday's post, I've found myself illegally streaming episodes of Batman Beyond, a show I only caught fragments of as a child on the famed CW, back when they still called it WB.
Not heard of it? Anime-inspired cyberpunk Batman.
Do you need any more convincing?
A geriatric Bruce Wayne (pushing 70, I believe) conscripts a young man with a similar taste for vengeance to continue his legacy as Batman in the year 2039. Great premise, decent execution, diverting enough for a children's show and lots of juicy worldbuilding for continuity fans. Stockhard Channing as non-crippled Police Commissioner Barbara Gordon? Yes please. Hovercycle gangs wearing clown make-up and calling themselves, in a deliciously late 90s way, the Jokerz? Yes please. Giant snarling wolfhound stalking Wayne Manor named Ace? Yes, yes, please.
(Oh, before I forget, new content posted on www.whoisnemo.com - go meet Moira!)

Shiny New Content
Hey, it's technically Monday!*
You know what that means? That means there's new content (in this case an excerpt) posted to www.whoisnemo.com! Wanna go check it out?
Who am I kidding of course you do everybody does.
*I'm obviously gonna cheat and change the time stamp, to continue the illusion that I blogged everyday.

Gotta Give Me Thinkbox Time To Percolate And Such
Was treated to a double feature of Lockout and The Cabin in the Woods. The first was stupid action movie fun, worth one watch and one watch only, but the second was confusingly thought-provoking.
I won't elaborate at the moment. Expect a post in the near future. Bradley Whitford's pretty bomb in it, though.
New content added at midnight. Come back and check it out? It was very nostalgic for me, I'll admit. Meet here or visit www.whoisnemo.com on your own speed.

The Moment You've All Been Waiting For
Your hearts are in your throats, I know.
You've been wringing your hands, pacing your rooms, counting the seconds.
Well, it's finally time.
Tonight at midnight, check out www.whoisnemo.com to read the first available excerpt from HULL DAMAGE. It's a cutting from the first chapter and I've spent the past few days tweaking and editing it, so I hope it meets with everyone's expectations.
If you like the excerpt, hop on over to the IndieGoGo campaign and make a contribution. Thanks, as always, for your interest.
Meet back here at midnight? Deal.

Well-Deserved Rest
New website is live. Book Teaser is live. IndieGoGo Campaign is live.
I will now watch Trigun, eat Chinese leftovers and nurse my skull-obliterating headache.
(Also, happy birthday to Scott Lynch!)

Brain Damage
My brain hurts. Website design is time-consuming and brain-hurty.
No time to blog. Check out this video instead. It's pretty cool, I guess.

Easter Egg
More website design today.
I only have a few days left until I launch the HULL DAMAGE website. I've been pouring today's efforts into exploring Wix, flash websites and tiny traces of html.
Due to Wix's peculiarities, it's somewhat difficult to save drafts of a website without the public being able to view them. As a result, I've hidden them away behind various buttons and such.
I'm not saying that, should you poke around www.whoisnemo.com, you'd uncover a hidden page.
I am, however, certainly implying it.
Also, cool new video goes up tonight. Same arrangement as before? Meet here at midnight?
(Edit: I guess yesterday was my hundredth blog post. Whoopee.)

In Summary
Promotion, my devoted masses, is quite literally the worst.
Call me modest, but I have a surprisingly difficult time pimping my own work. I feel as though I accurately understand it's value – it's not for lack of faith in the material – I just simply have a difficult time prioritizing a summary or sample into something an average reader would be feasibly digest.
Working on the IndieGoGo campaign (launching April 2nd, in case you hadn't seen this) has really brought this problem to a head. As far as I understand it, it's simply a matter of practice – the more you plug away, the more shameless you become.
It's an idealized notion I suppose, but there's something romantic to me about just producing quality work for a small circle of fans and letting them pass the content on to whomever they choose at their discretion. It's certainly no way to build a fanbase or make money, that I understand. It's just, I don't know, somehow more appealing to me.

I mean, I can, you just have to ask.
Okay, okay, sheesh. Calm down.
It'll be right here. Come back at midnight, deal?

Hey! Look!
An excerpt!
"Hands neatly folded, bare feet fully splayed and head lolled backwards over the top of the helmsman's seat, he snores the tranquil snore of the utterly irresponsible – entirely oblivious to the forces of law, order and immigration lurking only two ships further up the queue."
I should really set a modest word count, somewhere near 150 a day, and make my sporadic pecking at GALACTIC MENACE official, regular pecking.
Also, analytics for the website have been sorta down today. Do me a favor and head over to www.whoisnemo.com and give her a little traffic. Surely you concede that she deserves it.

Police Scanner
I'm just gonna leave this here.
I'm amazed how quickly this one came together; from vague concept to cohesive thing in a few days. Thanks to everyone involved.

Motifs
Allow me to advise you, o readers, that writing authentic sounding space cop police scanner jargon really isn't as simple as it looks.
I'm working on the second audio promo for the Who Is Nemo? promotional campaign, which involved a two page scene of two orbital law enforcement officers attempting to apprehend a suspect. The scene is mostly technobabble and, despite being two pages long, I found it to be something of a slog. I'm telling you, if the characters aren't either scuzzy criminals with poor grammar or unflattering portrayals of real, unheroic people, it just ain't my strong suit.
Technobabble never exactly suited me.

Donkey Kong, the Totodile
So, I'm playing Pokémon again.
Every now and again, the missus and I will engage in hour races, where we'll each play corresponding games (Red and Blue, Gold and Silver) for X hours and then battle. Usually, this is all a flimsy pretense under which to name all our Pokémon after an eponymous them.
I've obviously done Endless Night before (featuring Odisseus with Surf even!) and apocryphal Lord of the Rings (with Gwaihir, Durin and even fucking Cirdan). The missus' done ASoIaF, characters to specifically annoy my lofty literary standards (Bella Swan, for instance) and she's currently arbitrarily doing Barsoom characters (except for what will eventually be the most badass Tars Tarkas analogue ever.)
In retaliation, I'm, equally as arbitrarily, doing the six most important Kongs, in order of appearance. (Donkey, Diddy, Cranky, Funky, Candy and Dixie.) The big DK is gonna make one ferocious Feraligator.
Unrelatedly, the new piece of evidence is up. Go check it and the website out. Cheers.

All The Live-Long Day*
Follow the red bouncing dot, kids!
I've been working on the maaan-uscript!
All the live-long day!
Today marked the first of my (hopefully) weekly editing days, in which I, for many, many hours, dissect, prod and otherwise improve HULL DAMAGE for publication this summer. With all this energy spent on the promotional stuff (speaking of which, if you haven't yet, visit www.whoisnemo.com to start the hunt), it's easy to lose sight of the actual content I'm building up to.
That being said, with today's hard work, I've successfully proofed the book's first ten chapters for Draft 4. Next week, probably next Wednesday, I'll attempt chapters 11-20, but we'll see how successful I'll be.
In celebration of editing well done, the missus and I have been tag-teaming this illustrious game, in an effort to defeat all eight worlds and subsequently rescue that motherfucking bimbo who's, as always, in another motherfucking castle.
Wish us luck.
*As a child, I always thought it was illogically "the lim-long day", whatever the hell that means.
