Killer ents

I haven't been sleeping much lately, but I still remember a dream now and then...

I was driving down a narrow road somewhere in the woods, with a few vague friends.  We came upon a huge estate and a run-down three story Victorian house.  I'm not sure if it was our intended destination or not, but we got out and started exploring as night fell.

As I'm sure you can guess, it was a pretty good set-up for some kind of supernatural horror to start hunting us down.  Two of my vague friends disappeared, and were presumed killed by the strange apparition that first night.  We fled to the car out front, only to find it completely destroyed.

Forced to stay in the house, we explored the entire structure room-by-room.  Most of the rooms were mildewy and grey with dust and cobwebs, but we did find a few old guns in a broken case.  (somehow, they still worked and were already loaded)

The second night, the creature returned.  It came from the surrounding woods, and looked like a cross between Jason and a treant.  It had grown since the night before and towered over all of us.  In its knarled hand, it dragged a massive club that could have been a tree itself.

Another friend was crushed by the giant, and the rest of us were forced to retreat into the house.  This didn't deter the giant though, and he simply started bashing through the walls to get to us.

Then I woke up.

Sputtering restart

Wow, it's been quite a while since I last posted.  True, there's been a lot going on, but in truth it hasn't been so hectic that I couldn't have sat down to write a few posts.

The truth is that it seems like a lot of my friends have been starting their own blogs recently, and I felt left out.  So, revitalized and limping bravely onward!


I've been hitting comic conventions lately as I try to promote ViVaVi.  Unfortunately, unless they're totally mainstream, webcomics almost always start out small and accumulate an audience very slowly.  And I don't want to make a mainstream comic.  I want to do something that I enjoy and that I like to read.  So, bit by bit...

I've managed to meet most of my webcomic heroes, including the Foglios and the incredibly awesome Shaennon Garrity.  It's incredible to me that it's possible to make a living off of doing this kind of stuff, but somehow, they manage it.

Man, I'm out of practice writing these posts.  I'll be more coherent next time, I promise.
