Today was almost as crazy as yesterday. After work, I had errands to run. When I got in, I fell right asleep. I’m terrible.

Methinks by Wednesday I’ll be at or over 20,000 words. I’m flyin’!
Today’s picture of inspiration was brought to you by the The Amazing Spider-Man #641.
Keep on Space Truckin’!
Today turned out to be crazy busy. I got a call for the band to play a gig tonight. Since we don’t turn down money too often, we’re playing it.
However, that really threw a wrench in the gears for writing today. But I refuse to give myself a day off. I gave myself one hour to eat dinner and write. Turns out I can get a ton accomplished in one hour.

I have no picture for inspiration because I just hammered out what I could. But I did listen to some thrash metal to help speed the writing process up. I think I was typing at about 200bpm.
Keep on Space Truckin’!
It’s been pretty busy with Christmas, work, and life in general. Not to mention my final preparations for my NaNoWriMo starting January 4th. It cannot seem to come soon enough!
In the meantime, I hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday.
And I hope you enjoy this cover by Bob Layton, from Iron Man #254 (1990).
I’ve been pretty busy with work, the Christmas season and prepping myself for my NaNoWriMo event.
But I have to take a moment though to stop and reflect on the writer, artist, and editor legend: Joe Simon.
Today, Joe Simon passed away at the age of 98. Not only was he the co-creator of Captain America and Bucky with the legendary Jack Kirby, but he still had a prominent role in comic books today.
I always thought it was incredble when in 2007, during Marvel’s Civil War and the death of Captain America, Simon was quoted saying, “It’s a hell of a time for him to go. We really need him now.”
You will be missed.
I can only assume you’re working on something new with Jack right now.
