Coming Soon? (Really?)

Posted on May 1, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Coming Soon? (Really?)

Why is it always coming soon at the blog? Why are there always announcements about this coming and that coming?

When are they coming?

Okay, you win. Yes, there have been a lot of “Coming Soon” posts recently on this blog. They are not empty promises. They’re to tell you so you know what’s coming down the pike.

And I can assure you, these “Coming Soons” are all in process, meaning it’s not just a creator saying they’ll do this or that, but I’m actually doing it.

Example:

Podcast – Check and released.

New Axiom-man book (SCARLET SYNERGY) – Check and released.

Last year, ZOMTROPOLIS – Check and released.

Axiom-man Merch – Check and released with more to coming.

Patreon 2.0 – Check and released.

And so on.

I’m a one-man show. Things take time, but they do get done you do get to get them.

Peace.

More Blog Updates

More Blog Updates

This is just a quick note to let everyone know that things are still occurring on this blog on the backend. Some changes you’ll see up front, like new graphics or some links. Other changes are occurring behind the scenes, stuff that Google notices but not you, dear reader. The good news is, if Google notices it, so will you and will have an easier time finding it.

In the meantime, maybe make a game of it. How many subtle changes can you spot as we conduct more blog updates?

For now, please check out the latest release, AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY and other Axiom-man titles in the Book and Comic Shop.

2024 is going to be a superhero of a year!

Status report – 041724:

All right, we’ve got a full roster going on over here. Between the stuff you see on a daily basis and working on stuff behind the scenes that you’ll see eventually, we have our hands full.

Right now we’re:

1) Writing AXIOM-MAN: THE SUMMONING
2) Freelance editing for a client
3) Creating daily content for you both here on this blog and across the Web
4) Getting the second season of the Realm of Heroes and Monsters: Story Time podcast ready for launch (I’m building a queue to ensure you get it weekly)

And a day job.

But basically, our creative focus is on the Axiom-man books for this year. My main goal is to get the first drafts done by summer with, say, mid-July completion at the latest. Then all the heavy lifting is done and it’s just an issue of cleaning things up before publication.

The secret to getting all the above done and maintaining the schedule is just that: maintaining the schedule. Work on something every day and eventually you’ll get what you need out of it.

Back to work.

Mishaps in Collecting

Posted on March 21, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Mishaps in Collecting

As you can see from the picture, I had a mishap in collecting this week. The item came damaged with the bubble that contains the action figure mostly peeled away from the card.

Now, if I was the kind of collector that opens their stuff and puts in on display, it’d be no big deal. But I’m an in-package displayer/collector. I want my figures and their packaging to be as mint as possible.

The good news is the replacement figure is on its way as of this writing. I might even have it by the time this blog post airs. This figure for sure is getting a shorts video. Anyway, gotta make sure I ship the damaged one back. Mishaps in collecting happen.

Later.

Why I Post What I Do – Author Blogs

Posted on February 27, 2024 5:05 am by A.P. Fuchs

Many author blogs or websites are just about that: writing and books.

Which is 100% fine. I used to do it. Many others I know still do it. But do you see that site banner up there? It says three things: Writer, Artist, Creator. And it’s the latter part that explains why I don’t just post about books and comics (as awesome as those are).

I’ve talked about it before and I’ll mention it again, this site is about the long game in my creator/creative journey. It’s a showcase of the various crafts I practice. It’s also an information and entertainment source for you.

Why the hotwheels? Why the Funko Pops!? Why the action figures and playing cards? Because the film medium is something I also enjoy. My skillset might not be top-notch (most of what I do behind the scenes is based off what I learned in high school multimedia class 25 years ago . . . and it still works).

These creations and showcases are meant to compliment the books and comics and show that those things are made by a fan for the fans.

Some stumbles across one of my posts via a search engine and soon they are whisked into a realm of heroes and monsters and fandom entertainment. Author blogs can be more than just books and writing, if you want.

It’s that simple.

Like I always say, there’s a method to the madness.

Blog Updates

Blog Updates

If you’ve been reading my newsletter, you’ll know I’ve been making changes to this blog behind the scenes by way of updating things page by page, entry by entry. There was a lot of coding that went into a lot of the original entries that is now obsolete and is hurting the site, so I’ve been working slowly but surely on correcting those issues.

Thus far, I’ve completed three sections:

The Book and Comic Shop (which looks the same upon entry but when you click on a title, the title’s page is different)

Self-publishing Articles

Book Reviews

More to go, but I was also not using old coding when I got this site back up and running in 2019 so, generally speaking, the remaining adjustments, though a lot, isn’t a total site revamp or anything. Just fine-tuning and tweaking.

Hope you like the new pages as I got about these blog updates.

Status Report – 021324

Status Report – 021324:

All right, so things are starting to come together. Just over the weekend I received back the edits for AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY, which means that after I go over the edits (which is me doing just that: looking at the edits only prior to a final pass), the book goes into the production machine, gets a final look-over, then off to you, dear reader.

I’m really excited to release this book. It’s not your usual Axiom-man story and it was a chance for me to start a mythology that may or may not be true. I’ll leave that to you to decide for when the book comes out.

Also, I got the final piece I needed for my Writing 101 series I’m bringing to YouTube. There’s a method to the madness here and a bit of scheduling. It’ll all make sense as the episodes come out.

Lastly, this week is also a major work week with a ton of hours needing to be put in so if I’m a bit silent on the social feeds, that is why.

This has been your Status Report for 021324.
