Hobson & Choi #38 - "Disturbed Duo"

Hobson & Choi #38 - Disturbed Duo

Hobson & Choi #38 up now! The detectives do some shellshocked contemplation of #37! Dark times both ahead and behind!

Yes, it's a quiet chapter of Hobson & Choi this week, but y'know, it's The Big Spooky Day, why not turn things slightly grim?

Today is the last day of October as you probably already know (Happy Halloween!) so if you haven't caught up for a few weeks and want to blast through a few chapters to help us in the monthly charts, go for it. We love you.

Now, I'm off to a cafe to plan the entire of my NaNo. No biggie.

TV blog: How I Met Your Mother on The Digital Fix!

The final season of How I Met Your Mother, inspected critically for The Digital Fix.

Happy Halloween, everyone! The not-at-all-spooky Halloween special of Hobson & Choi should be up later! In other terrifying news, I am no longer represented by an eyeball on my Twitter account. Bloody hell.

New TV blog: Agents of SHIELD

Latest Agents of SHIELD review on The Digital Fix. Okayish episode, basically.

Another week, another Agents of SHIELD review. Hopefully TV will pick up soon, because I'm genuinely getting a tad jaded with some of this. Oh the plus side, new Hobson & Choi Podcast up yesterday as ever so that's a ray of sunshine.

Hobson & Choi #37 - "Supermarket Sweep"

Hobson & Choi #37 - "Supermarket Sweep"

Hobson takes Choi on the shopping trip from hell in this week's all-action chapter! Sorry, UK readers, but Dale Winton does not appear.

And it's more or less the last update in October (the next one will be on the 31st), so do vote for a few chapters to help big us up in the Jukepop monthly top 30. The guys would really appreciate it, they're having a tough time.

The podcast continues too, latest episode here, including links to subscribe on iTunes and such.

Danke. Have a lovely lovely day.

WriteBlog #3 - The Short Pitch And Me

As promised in the last one of these, I've been doing a few small projects in the buffer between finishing Part Two of my current novel last week and starting Part Three for NaNoWriMo. The main one I've found is submitting a few ideas for short comic stories, using the themes and guidelines here.

In this case, they're not looking for complete scripts, just short pitches describing your story. Now, some of you might be thinking this: "Great! Less work for you!" And although there was an element of that, it's been harder than I expected too.

New TV blogging: Homeland on The Digital Fix

Review of the latest Homeland episode on The Digital Fix. Sad sad sad sad Brody.

Yeah, that show's a bit of a downer right now. In fact, most of the shows I currently watch are a bit pessimistic. Hm.
