Hope everyone is staying safe, and, of course, writing.
This was not a great week for me, writing-wise. I'm not sure if it was Comic-Con hangover or getting back to reality, but I didn't seem to have the stamina to get much done.
I spent most of the week working on The Hound Dogs' Howl newsletter, which seemed to be as much as I could muster.
I also added the 16 to 17 names who signed up at Comic-Con to our mailing list. I say 16 or 17 because one email address didn't work, no matter how we tried to enter it. (Sorry, Caitilin, if you're out there).
I guess I got too clever, because I thought to send a notice to the new members, thanking them for stopping by and telling them something about the newsletter, and explaining the "Hey Hound Dogs" salutation. I sent them all as a group on blindcopy and they all came back as undeliverable. The actual newsletter apparently went through, no bounces, so I'm not sure why the emails weren't delivered. I probably should have sent them individually, but I was trying to be efficient.
We also contacted most of the people we had talked to about possibly appearing on our podcast, On the Air with Powers Squared. No undeliverables, but no replies as of yet, though it was only yesterday that we sent them. Still have a couple to go.
Comic-Con was the subject of two videos that we put up on our YouTube channel. First, was Paul's SDCC 2025 Haul video, which you can watch here. And, surprise-surprise, Paul and I talked about it on our weekly podcast On the Air with Powers Squared. You can listen to it here, or watch it for the next few days at twitch.tv/powerssuared, or wait until Wednesday at 2:30 pm PDT to watch it on our YouTube channel here.
I finished my review of Superman, and I believe it will go up mid-week. I'm sort of working on a review for Brother Orchard, but I'll admit I'm having to watch certain sections of the movie over as I sort of dozed in parts; I was tired, it was not the movie.
The Saturday Morning review this week on Trophy Unlocked was Paul's review of A Minecraft Movie. The Wednesday Game Day review was Trevor's review of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4.
No new query this week, put it down to fatigue. I'm pretty sure there are bunch of DNRs, but that's for next week.
I'm still editing what I've already written on Blackmail; 50449 words, so far.
So, not a banner week for me with the promise to do better.
Keep writing and I'll see you back here next week.
