We're 2 away from 100 bonafide backers. A few people got to read an advance copy. Even fewer got their hands on a proof. By backing the campaign, you get the REAL DEAL in time to curl up on a sofa with a plush comforter and good hot chocolate. Win win. www.kickstarter.com/projects/obs...

Banner of a blurb from author Rob Cameron for the Khumalo Tales crowdfunder reading "This book. These books! In Khumalo Tales , Zig Zag Claybourne has created Erah: the first fantasy world I truly wished I could live in since The Neverending Story. Amnandi, Mother Khumalo, and Bog are characters that I wish were family. This book is both an epic fantasy and an almanac to wisdom. Read Khumalo Tales. It will rewrite your brain.”

The formatting of this Beckett quote does still represent resilience and determination, just of a very different sort.

A neon light art piece of Samuel Beckett's famous quote "I can't go on. I'll go on" but spaced - it would seem inadvertently- so that it reads "I can't goon. I'll goon".

dorky craft thing: I always try to get a psychological handle on the characters I'm writing and with a storied guy like Wolverine it's tricky because you have to square the circle of all the teams he's been on, students he's mentored, lovers he's had, etc., etc., with the brooding lone wolf thing...

🎯 Marvel gave @saladinahmed.bsky.social a clear mission with Bishop: deliver a “definitive take” on the #XMan. Ahmed reveals why Marvel wanted a true Bishop book, how Shard became its emotional core, and why stoicism made family the perfect way to crack him open:

Marvel asked Saladin Ahmed to deliver a ‘definitive take’ on Bishop

'Bishop' is written by Ahmed with art by Mario Santoro, and the five-issue limited series is currently heading toward its October finale.
