Well Now, Isn't THAT Lovely (1 Comment)

My sites went boom… almost literally. Three walls were blown out of the power room where my other sites are hosted, so I have nowhere to type things. 😀 For those of you who visited me at A-kon, thank you! I’m sorry that book 2 didn’t arrive like it was supposed to. There was a little confusion because I had two separate orders placed for it and they didn’t ship it to me in time. :/ As a matter of fact it’s *sigh* sitting downstairs about fifty feet from me locked in the apartment office. I have no way to get to them and am a little curious why they sent them to my apartment when I’m at a convention all day and logically… am not going to be able to get them. 🙁 Now, I have 30 books that were intended for the convention that will be sitting in a comic box for the next year. If you check the Shop link at the top of the page, you can purchase one and help me offset that loss. 😀 (The store will reopen on Tuesday.)

The Writing Process (1 Comment)

So not only do you all get a chance to get to know me through this blog, but Tiffany’s new site allows my original scripts to appear under the strip.  So you’re going to get an extra chance to see how Tiffany and I work together.  I’m both excited and intimidated by this. 

I carry around a PDA which I use to jot down my ideas where ever I am.  Once I have a bunch finished, I collect a group of them and send them off to Tiffany.  She’s the one that puts the final coat of polish on it.  Unfortunately it’s not much of a high end computer for things like spell and grammar check, even the format is a little primative.  So please keep your laughter aimed at the strip and not my script.

Hello everyone!  Thanks to Tiffany’s great new page design, I get to join in on the blogging.  I’ve never been much of a blogger, so hopefully this will be an excellent opportunity for all of us to get to know one another a bit better.  Hopefully I won’t do too much meaningless rambling.

For those that don’t know me, I’m Mark Mekkes, I’m the writer for Abby’s Agency.  I also do the comic Zortic, and am part of the Web Cartoonists’ Choice Awards and Podwarp 1999 (speaking of which, I did slip an Abby’s Agency plug into the normal SciFi discussion last week).
