Soooo… The Horror Within is getting ready to launch. My cousin Rich is doing an awesome job of translating my many needs and wants into realities. Stuff we’ll have and do:–Accounts for all regular contributors, plus blank accounts so that guest contributors and fiction submissions can all have proper bylines.–Awesome graphics that H has been working his ass off on. (Don’t worry, his actual ass is cute as ever)–Normal stuff like FB like buttons, our Twitter feed, and cool widgets–Soon…
My new computer is awesome, but Mavericks is a little annoying. Plus I found out the hard way that we needed a new modem. I was not online for over a day (it was almost 2 days, but H fixed it).

(for non-cab people, this means scheduling the cab the night before) I decided to take it really easy on myself this holiday season. We’re not having anyone over for New Years Eve, first of all. So that’s a LOT of cooking I won’t have to do. I’m also not baking anything, except for H’s…
It’s coming right along. It would be finished now but I’m still waiting to get interview questions back from one of the artists. Laying it out has been a huge task, but I think I’m getting the hang of the program now. InDesign is actually a lot like Illustrator with multiple pages. So all those Stig & The Puppetman comics actually did more than display my inadequate drawing skills. I was gonna avoid using Creative Commons art like old ads…
