    Christmas Holiday 2023 Creative Plans

    Christmas Holiday 2023 Creative Plans

    Last week of working like a dog then a holiday break for 10 days. Really needed and really looking forward to it . . . but that doesn’t mean I’ll be doing absolutely zero.

    While there will be little things to get done during the break, namely life stuff, here is my general holiday overview divided into blocks big and small.

    Dec. 22 – Midday. Nap (if work is done early)

    Dec. 23 – Festivus. Decompression day and the airing of grievances on my Facebook page to help with the decompression

    Dec. 24 – Rest and Christmas Eve stuff

    Dec. 25 – Christmas (with a special video on YouTube that is interesting but will also make you laugh)

    Dec. 26 to Dec. 30 – A combination of relaxing and binge creating for 2024 and one more Christmas gathering but I don’t know the date. Probably the 26th or 27th.

    Dec. 31 – New Years Eve. I’m too old to do the stay-up-til-midnight-then-kiss-the-girl thing. I foresee a later night but in bed before we travel through time into a new year.

    Jan. 1 – Last day of rest so the aim is to do as much nothing as possible

    Jan. 2 – Back to real life

    And those are my Christmas Holiday 2023 Creative Plans.

    That last date scares me at the time of this writing though, because, right now, worn out, I don’t want to deal with real life. Need the break. I do know, however, the break will be a full recharge if it’s anything like my same-length break in the summer, which is a good thing.

    There you go. General holiday plans, subject to change as per the rules of Christmas Holidays when things can turn on a dime.

    I hope you’re looking forward to Christmas as much as I am. I have some really cool, special-to-the-individual gifts to hand out and I can’t wait to see their reaction!

    Peace.

  • Various Bits from the Net – 012220

    Posted on by A.P. Fuchs

    Welcome to Various Bits from the Net – 012220.

    For those unfamiliar with this segment (here’s the last one), it’s basically a round-up of a few items from around the Internet that I found interesting and thought were worth sharing. Do with them as you please.

    First up, my friend and cartoonist, Max West, has a new Kickstarter starting up soon. It’s for Dominic and Claire Circus. I have the minicomics from the previous Kickstarter and they are a hoot. Go here to learn more about Max West and watch the video below to see the comics from the previous Kickstarter.

    Need a bit of humor? Here is the How it Should Have Ended regarding how Captain America should have returned the infinity stones.

    I missed sharing this on social media at Christmas time–thanks Broadcast Mode–so I’m going to share it here. It’s a parody of “Let it Snow” called “Make it So.”

    As you know, I love newsletters and prefer them as a solid form of communication from creator to reader. Piers Anthony–whom I had the privilege of publishing in the Bits of the Dead anthology–has a monthly column that acts as his newsletter. He’s always up to something interesting even if his views and mine don’t always line up. His newsletter can be found here.

    Lastly, Wil Wheaton’s blog is quite good and, while he’s well-known in fandom, he’s also a really down-to-earth guy so I check in on his blog now and then to see what he has to say. Please visit Wil here.

    In personal news, the week is coming along. Finishing up things so I can move on to new things. All this is logged in my weekly newsletter, so if you haven’t already subscribed, be sure to get on board and join me and my other subscribers on Saturdays to wind down from the week. Hope to see you there.

    Take care.

  • Gearing Up for the Holidays

    Posted on by A.P. Fuchs

    I’ve officially entered that season where I’m gearing up for the Holidays. And I know I’m gearing up for the Holidays because I’ve hit my wall after four months of going hard trying to rebuild my career after being ill for so long. Next week is Christmas week and I’m taking the week off effective Sunday. Daily blog posts are still planned as is the newsletter. If you’re a Patreon subscriber, the behind-the-scenes tier airs next week. But that’s pretty much it for me for the Holidays. I’ll be back in full swing the week after.

    Also, I have a Christmas thing planned for both Patreon and this blog (both different special Christmas things), so make sure you’re hooked up to All Things A.P. Fuchs before next week rolls around so you get everything.

    In the end, this break is needed. I plan to read, sleep, watch a little TV, and eat and visit.

    Emails will be replied to when I get back.

    – A.P. Fuchs

    Ps. Today on my Patreon page was a Patron-first Announcement revealing the real title of Project Jackass. As a patron, you get project reveal news before anyone else. Subscribe today for as little as a buck to make sure you’re always in the loop. (Other things like an ongoing serial novel, bonus posts, and more should keep you busy between Patron-first Announcements.)

  • The A.P. Fuchs Pay-What-You-Want Book Sale! Superheroes! Monsters! Sci-fi! Oh my!

    Posted on by A.P. Fuchs

    Pay-what-you-want Book Sale

    That’s right, folks, for one week only you can order any book directly from me in paperback or eBook and choose what you pay for it. No catch. No nothing.

    Okay, a couple catches–shipping is extra and this doesn’t apply to the Axiom-man Special Edition because it just came out.

    This is a good chance to grab some Christmas goodies for that monster and superhero lover in your life.

    What are my books worth to you? Cover price? Less? More? You decide and, please, don’t be shy.

    Orders can be made via email or private message. Book and Comic Shop here.

    Thanks.

  • Wrapping up 2015

    Posted on by A.P. Fuchs

    Hope everyone had a good Christmas week. As we head toward New Year, and since I finally have some breathing room after all the Holiday parties, I’m finishing up some odds and ends around the studio while also juggling admin catch-up work.

    I have some things planned for 2016, and it’s stuff that’s only appearing in 2016 because it wouldn’t be ready by the end of this year.

    I’m not one for New Year’s creative resolutions. Going to go into detail as to why in this Saturday’s newsletter. Tune in here.

    See you in 2016.
