P.S. Sorry for the long delay, but Kevin and I just spent the last several weeks prepping for a book signing of my book, GARDNER'S GUIDE TO WRITING AND PRODUCING ANIMATION, for which Kevin did all the interior book art. We signed copies of the book and he even got to show off some original (non-Flying Glory) art at the Van Eaton Galleries, who sponsored it. Despite hot temperatures, we had a great time. Thanks for bearing with us...

Just in Time...

Actually, that may seem farthest from the truth given it's been two weeks since the end of Issue #9... but that's the name of the new song being performed by the band as they shoot their first music video!

The work that Kevin had to do for this page was so detailed he might as well have been doing another cover. Sorry for the delay, but we wanted the results to be worth it!

Flying Glory and the Hounds of Glory Showcased in WOW! - Women on Writing

If you've ever wondered what Flying Glory and the Hounds of Glory would look like in an animated script form, satisfy your curiosity! I did an article on Breaking into the Animation Writing Market for online magazine WOW! - Women on Writing where I adapted the last pages of what is Issue 2 (or Chapter 2 in the first currently unpublished Graphic Novel) into script form.

The script samples and overall article are mine, I don't know where they got the top graphic from or why they used that as it is from the FINAL FANTASY video games. FF X-2 happens to still be my fave game of all time, but ...
In any case, I hope that people find this article informative and I enjoyed doing it. Here's the link:
http://www.wow-womenonwriting.com/20-FE3-ShannonMuir.html
The whole issue is on freelancing, FYI, so there might be a lot of useful stuff there. Consider taking a look.

And thanks again to WOW! Women on Writing for the opportunity.
