Paragons Of Virtue Meet NaNoWriMo

It's November 23rd 2017 and the 3rd Paragons of Virtue novel is sitting at 51,000 words.

To be honest I've been working on and off on book 3 since April, but I'm using November as an excuse / justification / motivation to get it done. 

Part of me thinks I cheated, cos I had the outline planned out in October.  That's why forever more October will be known as...

NASTOPLAMO

Take October. Name it “National Story Planning Month.” Whatever you’re going to do in November, you don’t have to go in blind. 

NaNoWriMo, short for National Novel Writing Month, happens each year during the month of November.  Established in 1999 it encourages participants to begin writing a 50,000 word novel on November 1st to be completed by 11:59 p.m. on November 30th.

And at the moment December shall be called

NAEDYOSHIMO

December then becomes “National Edit Your Shit Month.” Or, if you need a month away from it, maybe you come back to it in January — but the point is, always come back to it.

So keep your eyes peeled for we've got a cool story about a Galactic war, Psychic powers, power and intrigue and the debut of the next paragon to hit the street.

and i do mean "hit"...

Paragons Of Virtue Superhero Novels Original Strip pt2

It's a cold, wet November night and I'm reminiscing again.

See below the second instalment of the Paragons Of Virtue comic strip that first saw daylight all the way back in 1985 in the Superhero UK fanzine.  OMG that's 32 years ago!

First there were the role-playing games, played by a fanatically loyal group of teenagers throughout high school and beyond.  Stranger Things anyone?

Then Jonathan created this comic strip as part of his fanzine.

This actually features the Yakuza Oyabun known as Albatross.  Look out for his upcoming novel where he'll be going under his Japanes name Arubatorosu.  He's also in the "SprawlBall" novel if you haven't read that yet.
