Victoriana

It's Kira!
Alright, well, I think that today I'll tell you all a little about Steampunk! I always try to capitalize that word, IDK why. Same with Idea.
Anyway, Steampunk is a growing little subculture, and in my interpretation, blends the sooty romance and certain values of the Victorian era with Edwardian steam-power, and modern punk and some Goth fashion.
I am a big huge poser of Steampunk, being only in it for the romance and the fashion, just like most other things in my life. But really, who is ACTUALLY in it for the punky-ness? You see the clothes, you like the Victorian, I think that constitutes Steampunk.

Evenings...

When one wakes up in the morning I think the most industrious thing a person can do is to have a cup of coffee, and if one were so inclined, work on one's next novel. It is such a good way to wake in the morning.
This morning I woke up and looked out my window and said Hey, no going back to sleep! I got up and went downstairs, turned on the computer and wrote a bit, edited a bit, and listened to some very good music. I enjoy the Cold War Kids, a very good bluesy rock band.
But evenings are lovely too.
Later!

Sipping Hibiscus tea...

Hello all!
This is a sudden Idea to make this blog into a fake journal of my real life!
THis morning I woke up and looked around and realized that I had a sudden desperate craving for a pencil! I grabbed my pencil and paper and all of a sudden now i have this crazy Idea that I should make a book with my own illustrations, should I ever decide that I'm not too lazy to do it. Being at my age laziness is like a caffeine buzz to a businessman.
So anyway I've been inspired by the whimsicalness of T. Diterlizzi's work and Want to do something in his kind of style, but still my own. Maybe that's what I'll do, I'll write novels that I illustrate myself!
I can't wait till the agency-who-will-not-be-named-for-legal-reasons gets back to me! the countdown begins now, eh? I should hear from them in a month fr two, so until then I have to be patient.

Hello all! I've decided I needs to blog for a second. I've started another story, this time it's about a girl, a stag named Ruprekt, and yet another Irish dude! It's so far very similar to Romeo and Juliet, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Blog Overhaul

I have realized something major. MY BLOG IS POINTLESS! AHHHHHH!!!!*Runs around in circles then smacks into wall* Owie...

Anyway, now that I understand my own personality a little better, this blog will have purpose! To gush about all things, Comics, Victorian, and Steampunk, which I realize I love. Avast, I am still a ninja, so no fear.
