Pariah Online Magazine is late this month and will probably continue to be so for a little while longer. I am working on projects and they are eating up nearly half of the day. We do, however, seem to have some submissions coming in regularly. You will find one of them listed above this posting. Also check into the serials section for another sample of his work.

Work has picked up and the serial submission, there is another chapter in the Fear saga, is from the same author as the new Untamed Origin post. I have actually had some time to write lately, but have not completed more than a few paragraphs. On an unrelated note, I have been learning to type after all of these years. It would definitely improve my productivity if I actually could type. I am proof that you can spend years at the keyboard without learning how to actually use one.

I do have some fresher submissions on my Associated Constent site. There has even been additional activity on Secrets of the universe for you to read if you are interested in my editorials. My personal computer is slowly coming back together so I will have another system to write on. Rebuilding everything is taking a great deal of time out of the work that I would actually like to be doing. Behind the scenes, you cannot see how moving to this system has hurt the way in which I keep versioning Pariah Online Magazine.

There are a few projects on this hard drive that I have started and not gotten back to. Even my posts on Associated Content have fallen off. There were no submissions for me to process so it does not matter that this edition is almost two weeks after the publication date. My mind will not clear enough to let me write. This is the best that I honestly have to offer.

Although the content of this site is kind of stale, this is still an active site that is taking submissions at this time. I would like to be able to pay for submissions, but I have to have a way of making money first. I'm up for ideas. What would you like to see on this site that would help me to get submissions? Is there a way of making enough to pay for submissions without driving readers away from the site? If I move from this part of the state, then I will stand a better chance at gaining steady employment, but it will leave me with less time to write.

CornerNET Internet Gateway is still here to host Pariah Online Magazine this month. Times are tough. I am working on programming projects online and doing most of the editorials for Secrets of the Universe. That may eventually provide enough of an income for my needs, but CornerNET also has to survive. If you need custom programming, web design, server construction or general hosting, looking into CornerNET is a good way to show your support for Pariah Online Magazine. Remember that Pariah is a free service. Right now, I cannot even afford to pay writers for their contributions. Would a paypal donation system work?

Artist Wanted

Okay, so, I went to the Baltimore Comicon, peddling my wares, as it were, and I learned a few important things. The first among those is that being a self-taught artist is not conducive to getting you a profession in the comic industry. They have standards when it comes to material, media, and so on.

The second thing that I learned was that I am very promising as a writer. I even have the contacts and resources to self-publish if I can come up with a decent product. AND I have a colorist lined up. So, right now I am missing an artist with some idea how to produce a professional looking comic.

So what I am saying here is that I am looking for an artist who would be interested in teaming up with me to start a line of actual comics we could get paid for.

Now, every time I have made a general public appeal in one of these articles, I have received zero response. I expect this to be no different. However, should any talented artists want to emerge from the woodwork, I not only have the resources to self-publish, I have actually spoken to a few interested publishers and have a plan to sell the project. All I need to launch you and I into the world of comic publishing is someone with some talent who wants to step forward.

My contact information is on the page. You know what to remove to make a legitimate email address out of it.
