2015 Nano Day 05!
Meh. Today sucked. I mean, I wrote some scenes I really liked but my numbers are just pathetic. It doesn’t help that I’ve gotten sick (because of course I have!):

Mmm. Another rough day from a standpoint of numbers, but I finished my work that was due Wednesday (today) so by any measure I call that a success!

2015 Nano Day 02!
As mentioned, not a ton of words today as I was mostly working on an outline/pitch and that’s more about getting down notes, doing research, and finessing things than it is about high word count. Came in just under 1,000.
So not a great day, but this is a tough deadline I’m under. Also I had to take about 6 hours to try to switch over to my new iphone (and it’s still not done!!!! grrrrr. Don’t ask).

2015 Nano Day 01!
I often take a (totally unofficial) stab at NaNoWriMo. I’ve only successfully managed it one year (the glorious year that was 2011). But that was a crazy success in that I not only DOMINATED my word count (over 75k on that novel) AND that novel became my book STORYKILLER.
So it’s both hard to resist the siren song of that one year’s awesome success and it’s also often something that feels like a too high standard (which I will constantly fail to meet). Anyway, I have A LOT to write right now,...

This One Is Just For You LizRiata
Because a commenter on The Mary Sue (LizRiata) is having a grand old time calling me a liar in public, here are some formerly private DM’s between me and the perfectly lovely ladies at Black Girl Nerds as we discussed me coming onto their podcast last month and then when that didn’t work out, us doing an interview.
Subsequent to this conversation, just last week, I WAS contacted directly via email for an interview which I happily agreed to. I did the interview via email, provided many images,...

52 Best Comic Covers of 2014
Been a while since I did these. But I’ll be CRAZY biased next year thanks to my work on IDW’s JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS with Ross Campbell so I figured I should get in a final year. I did a comprehensive “Best of 2014″ over on CSBG for this week’s SHE HAS NO HEAD! and this is simply an extension of that piece.
As always, you can see my biases in my choices. Title integration is important to me (which is why I’m only showing cover art with the titles on it), so are interesting compositions and grea...
Big (totally dated) Announcement – I’m Writing Jem and The Holograms!
I hope you don’t get your “Kelly Thompson” news from this blog which I have become just terrible at updating…if so you’re getting this COMPLETELY AWESOME news nearly a month late. But better late than never, yes?
So, I am indeed writing the new IDW comic book JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS, that launches in March (March 18th specifically).
Even better news, the absolutely phenomenal Ross Campbell (and also my good friend) will be doing the book with me – covers and interiors. This is an ongoing book and...
