Hobson & Choi #58 - "Two Surprises"
And yes, the title Two Surprises is a mini-tribute to the old episode Two Escapes. Because since I have two main characters, they might as well sometimes share experiences.
Hope you're all well - if you've got some time to kill and fancy doing the Hobson & Choi empire a favour, a review on Web Fiction Guide is always dandy.
By way of small thank-you, here is another A LINE I WROTE TODAY video, this week previewing a line from next week's H&C #59. So, yes, it's even relevant to this post.

Hobson & Choi Podcast #28 - "Suspects On Parade"
Time to take stock now, as Hobson & Choi assess their suspects list before the case moves into its final stage. Meanwhile, I've been reading a lotta X-Men comics...

Not Drowning But Typing (WriteBlog #17)
Last week, I discussed how my writing wasn't entirely flowing, words refusing to come out no matter how long I stared at the page. In a typical ironic-sadistic finger-of-fate fashion, this week I had a much easier time getting the material down when I was at the keyboard, but... was frustratingly not finding much opportunity.
No sooner had I lined up a few clear days of work, the pipework in our house experienced severe explosive turbulence, all over our bathroom floor, leaving me waiting in for a lot of plumbers. Don't worry, this won't be a whole blog about plumbing - even better, there will be a video!

Hobson & Choi #57 - "Interview With The Wolf-Man"
And no, the title Interview With The Wolf-Man doesn't imply any relation to the various horror films with similar titles. I'm just hoping to lure people who like that sort of thing in, so they can fall in love with our serial and keep reading.
In other H&C news, we were #2 on Jukepop for February! Excellent news, although that means the only way to progress is to hit #1. So, um, yeah, if everyone could just go vote heavily now? It is my 30th birthday soon, and that would be a delightful present...

Hammer & Claw - Adventures resembling Writer's Block (WriteBlog #16)
I believe these WriteBlogs were meant to be weekly, but obviously that hasn't happened. Upsetting, because it means I hit that old blog cliche - a post opening with an apology for not blogging recently. (Still been doing my fiction and TV review posts though, so hopefully no-one cried.)
Shame I picked this time to drop off the WriteBlog schedule, as I was chuffed with the last one about comic scripting - nice balance between self-indulgent me-talk and links to worthwhile resources. Anyway, let's move on. What's been going down? Well, there was the Hobson & Choi birthday...

We're hopefully coming to the end of a very very busy few weeks, both in real life and on Hobson & Choi. There is a small chance I may even get the WriteBlogs going again, not to mention go to bed before 1AM.
Hard to tell which one excites me more.
Anyway. #56 is pretty fun, I think, and next week we get to do a classic trope which I always enjoy.

The Walking Dead review time!
New Walking Dead review on Dork Adore! Death and male grooming!
Hectic times at the moment, I'm aware the WriteBlog schedule has somewhat fallen apart. Hopefully a return is coming.
