So for once in my life I don’t have any columns or reviews to share – some things are scheduled, but nothing new at the moment.

One of the things people notice right away about Olde School is that the bulk of the characters are nonhuman. I’ve done panels on writing the “other” recently, and it kind of shocks me that there has to be a “way” to go about writing these characters. I’ve seen probably two distinct uses of nonhuman … More Finding the Familiar in the Other
