Hope everyone is staying safe, and, of course, writing.
Seeing as Friday was Valentine's Day, hope you had a happy one, this week's On the Air with Powers Squared was titled "Powers Squared Valentine's Day Special". The podcast was dedicated to a look at relationships and romances in the comic book, of which there are several. If you want to find out more, you can listen to here, watch it on twitch.tv for the next week, or wait and watch it on our YouTube channel (@powerssquared) when it premieres on Wedneday at 2:30 pm.
Big week with Powers Squared, as we recieved and reviewed pages from our artist, from our colorist and from our former artist, who is doing a cover for an upcoming trade we're planning. It was good to receive pages, a lot of good work, but hopefully our feedback was helpful.
I finished my query list this week. After looking at agency websites, here's my current breakdown, which is subject to change as I actually start: 2 are green, meaning they seem like good ones to query first, 85 are next up, meaning they are open to queries and they seem to represent mysteries, 66 are ones I would query if it gets to that point. They were listed on Query Tracker as taking mysteries, but their website either doesn't specify genres or they're not taking queries at the moment. That left 75 which either didn't specify mysteries, or want a cozy mystery, or want something for a different age range. So, basically, I have 153 possible queries to send. I hope it doesn't take that many to find representation. Well, that's fodder for another day.
It's been Paddington week on Trophy Unlocked, with two reviews from Trevor, Paddington 2 was the Saturday Morning Review, and we put up his review of Paddington in Peru which went up this morning. I'm currently working on a review of The Locket (1946). Funny story about that. We try (and fail) to clean out our DVR. When we watched this one, last night, it turns out we recorded it in 2015 during TCM's last Summer of Darkness. Nice to know a ten-year-old recording still plays.
As far as Blackmail goes, I did do some work on it, but it was more editing of what I've already written. I need to do more.
Well, that about does it for me. Keep writing and I'll see you back here next week.
