The Monday Missive

Jessica Jones! 
I'm about 7 episodes in and I'm really getting a kick out of it. Makes me want to go back and watch Daredevil. There are a few logic gaps that I haven't been able to cross, but nothing that's harming my enjoyment of the show. And now I am *really* dying to see Luke Cage, of course. I wish there were a few more references to the other shows. I live for that stuff, but so far, nary a mention of Daredevil. Oh! And both Quesada and Loeb (Marvel guys) have said that Iron Fist is still moving forward. Not that they're listening, but . . .

​... I know a guy who could NAIL IT if you guys are having trouble with the writing. :)

Regardless, I love how they're painting all of these strong, but fundamentally flawed female characters. Are MRA nutjobs really freaking out over this? 

Comics
I have a dilemma. I recently switched to mostly trades on my comic collecting. I'm running out of space! The garage, with its stacks of white boxes, is becoming difficult to navigate. My office isn't much better. So I'm making the jump to trades. I feel that most stories read better that way, these days. 
Now I know that trades take up only marginally less space (usually) than a stack of the equivalent comics, but at least I can get rid of the trades for money if I need to. If I need space, I can liquidate a few collections that I likely won't read again. With the individual comics? Well, let's be realistic - you can barely give those away. The dream of 11-year-old Jason is dead and I won't be sitting on a mountain of gold reaped from selling all of those GI Joe issues I bought back then. 
But the real dilemma? I went to Rogues Gallery to pick up my haul and after a month, there were only 4-5 comics waiting for me. I'm dying here as I wait for all of those trades!

The Mailing List
I have one, as I mentioned last week. Please sign up for it. It's over on the right (under SIGN UP FOR THE MAILING LIST)! I have some plans and I will need YOUR help to see them through! Which leads me to . . . 

Announcements
It looks like you'll be seeing my first novel, THE BLACK GOAT MOTORCYCLE CLUB sometime next year. I can't say much yet, but yeah  . . . I'm excited. Right now, I'm working on some promotional stuff for that, like a new podcast. They'll be released simultaneously, I think. It's something new, something you may not have seen before. 
Aside from that, I'm also working on the second book. I'm happy with it thus far. About 50K words in. I plan on finishing the first draft by the end of the year. At this rate, it will be a lengthy one. 80K, I'm guessing? 
Lately has been productive when it comes to page output. Before last week, I was working on about 1K words per night. Now? Anywhere from 2 to 4K. Pretty happy with that. 

Battlefront
According to that oozing pustule, Jeff, I suck at Battlefront. 

He's not wrong, but that hasn't stopped me. I really don't play it as much as I thought I would. I mean, I really enjoy it, but losing over and over at something you want to be good at and that you love so much is pretty demoralizing. heheh. 

Still, anyone down for playing soon? Maybe this week sometime? Add me on PSN - JasonRageSelect.
