New TV blog: Homeland up late!

While checking my earlier H&C post, I noted I forgot to link to Monday's Homeland review on The Digital Fix. So, here it is. Another decent episode.

And if the earlier post wasn't persuasive enough, definitely check out Hobson & Choi, it is well good. (How is my new promo push going so far?)

Hobson & Choi #41 - "Rush Job"

Hobson & Choi #41 - "Rush Job" - up now! Hobson tries to negotiate with an arsehole! Ellie and Choi try to have a conversation! The end of Case Two looms into view like a whale or something!

Another chapter I particularly enjoyed writing, hopefully that will come across in the reading experience. Big extra-long resolutiony chapter next week!

I'm trying to do a wee bit of putting the word out about Hobson & Choi, so if you want to write a review on Web Fiction Guide that'd be awesome. Or indeed any other fiction site or your own blog or whatever. If you need a guest posting slot filled, I am happy to talk H&C or related issues.

If you want to help in a less labour-intensive way, you can vote for us on Top Web Fiction, which only requires a brief captcha-fill. Everything is good.

Hobson & Choi Podcast #12 - Bad Breakfast

It's the Bad Breakfast episode! Can Hobson finish the world's worst breakfast to win some info from his source? It's the episode my girlfriend told me not to let her listen to, as we go into full on anti-food-porn.

And back in the back matter, the never-ending NaNoWriMo battle still has not ended.

You can play the episode in the player below, download the MP3 here or subscribe on iTunes to have it thrown at you every week. Or if you hate iTunes on principle, you can point your RSS reader at our Libsyn page to get every episode.

New TV review: Walking Dead on Dork Adore

Hobson & Choi #40 - Last Contact

Hobson & Choi hits the big 4-0! And to celebrate the approach of middle-age, they're considering what to do about this Rush Recruitment crisis.

So, can the duo survive last week's reveals about Hobson's past? Only one way to find out - go read, obviously.

And the podcast is just getting up to the quite fun Bad Breakfast section, so check that out too.

Now, I gotta do some NaNo. Maybe watch that Doctor Who prelude again a few more times. Adios.

TV review: Night of the Doctor!

New Doctor Who prelude thing reviewed! Is fun! On Dork Adore!

Hobson & Choi publication slightly delayed by this. Never mind. I'm starting on it now. But wasn't that prelude awesome?

NaNoWriMo 2013 - End of Day 13 - A Graph

My NaNoWriMo words so far. I'm behind but I keep going, because I am a trier.

My novel is about Hell, so the comparison is amazingly apt.

More ramble-angsty NaNo blog update posted earlier.

NaNoWriMo Week Two - Book Existence (WriteBlog #6)

I was chugging along nicely with the novel for a while - it had been around three whole chapters since I last stopped and reworked half the rules of my fantasy setting - when I ground to a halt and thought: Right. Shit. This may not be working.

Hate it when that happens. Happily, after only three hours of staring into space and 507 words of notes, I was able to get back on track.

Hobson & Choi Podcast #11 - The Dark Spoons

What are... The Dark Spoons? Hobson and Choi dive deeper into the underworld this week, and it's all set-up for something truly disgusting next time.

Meanwhile, in the back pages, there's NaNoWriMo spilt everywhere and I recommend Crossed: Wish You Were Here, available from http://www.crossedcomic.com
