http://www.backwoodspublishing.com/backwoodsblog Thoughts and comments on the world of graphic novel creation and publishing Sat, 28 Jul 2007 15:40:51 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en My wife and I just had our fourth child - Pryce Owen Sampson. Weighing in at 10 pounds, 11 ounces, he took about 22 hours to deliver. Mom and Baby are both doing great and sleeping. OK, Mom’s sleeping and Baby is sitting here looking around, but ... http://www.backwoodspublishing.com/backwoodsblog/?p=28 It’s been a little over a year since we changed our home page. If you’ve been checking regularly, thank you! You deserve an update. Here’s what’s happened and what’s going on now. We’re waiting. We’ve been waiting. I’m sure we’ll continue to wait. We’re waiting to hear from DIamond about distribution. ... http://www.backwoodspublishing.com/backwoodsblog/?p=27 What’s dribbler, you ask? It is a school program for little kids (all under 5th grade, I think). They work on basic basketball ball handling skills and make a little routine out of it to show between periods of high school basketball games. My son thought it ... http://www.backwoodspublishing.com/backwoodsblog/?p=26 I’ve always been, what I consider, a fairly musical guy. I come from a musical family. I play a few instruments, some well, and others not well. When I was in college, I listened to a fairly wide musical group; classic rock, blues, jazz, classical, old-school punk, ... http://www.backwoodspublishing.com/backwoodsblog/?p=25 Where did the time go? The blogs, as you all know, are slow coming. I apologize. I’d have to say, however, no one is really commenting much, so I don’t feel too much drive to post daily. No, don’t start commenting on everything and filling my evenings with ... http://www.backwoodspublishing.com/backwoodsblog/?p=24 Mostly because I don’t have too much time, but a blog entry is long overdue. Summer is winding down. It’s been quite a summer. I’ve been away from home more this summer than any in recent memory. Mostly, it’s been spending time with the kids: museums, visiting ... http://www.backwoodspublishing.com/backwoodsblog/?p=23 We’ve got everything together. Hopefully by the end of next week we will have the solicitation packets out. Then it’s just a matter of waiting. It’s one thing to be waiting on yourself or on your partner, but it’s something else entirely when you are waiting on ... http://www.backwoodspublishing.com/backwoodsblog/?p=22 I was driving home tonight, listening to NPR, and they ran a story about the FBI and CIA asking Google and the like to keep track of the sites you and I search for a period of two years. No one is saying how this will be paid for ... http://www.backwoodspublishing.com/backwoodsblog/?p=21 I don’t post nearly as often as I did at the start of this thing. Sometimes I wonder if I have anything to say at all. Then, at times like these, I think, “Who cares?” It’s my blog. I can say whatever I want, so, I’m ... http://www.backwoodspublishing.com/backwoodsblog/?p=20 Fact of the matter is it’s looking more like mid-June. I know, I know. Trust me, it drives me crazier than it does you (if you even really care at all). By then we should not only have all of the Solicitations sent, but the first “e-book” ... http://www.backwoodspublishing.com/backwoodsblog/?p=19
