How I Spent My Summer Vacation, Part 1

~ mellopanther

Today’s the “last day” of “summer”, so I might as well post a recap of what’s been going on in my life related to MP.

  • Cleaned up the side bar to make it all button-tastic.  I dunno, I kinda like it.  Looks fancy.
  • Increase my role over at Otaku Drive Time, which has eaten up a lot of my time and creative input (and that doesn’t include the numerous FB updates I do).
    • Since OTDT is a good chunk of my free time, I figure I should add them to the side bar.
  • Continue on with Writebet and although I mentioned this earlier, What I didn’t mention was that on one of the days, I went on at length about my feelings on MP.  I’ll re-post it past a cut (or you could just read the Tumblr post)  but this is why I want to do what I do, and why I’ll continue to do it.

Aside from being busy with OTDT, I’ve been involved with a Writebet, which is a big fancy way of saying “Write something every day for 100 straight days.”  If you’re interested in some of my work, you can hop on the #twotommyolivers hashtag and browse.  I’ve only mentioned game shows twice in the first week.  I’m proud of myself.

Speaking of proud, how nutso was this?

I posted this on my personal Tumblr and have over 18,000 notes!  Holy crap!

Anyway, being in the writing mood might have a positive effect on here.  I certainly have a lot of free time on my hands, too, so who knows?

Comings and Goings

It looks like the 2013 convention cycle has come to an end for me, but I can’t say I’m too disappointed.  Considering I was thinking of starting full-scale in 2014, an early con or two is a bonus, really.  Hopefully, I’ll be able to make it to a lot of shows and make some new friends along the way.

But, just because conventions are done doesn’t mean MP is done.  Instead, I’ve been focusing a lot of effort in a venture with some of my friends called Otaku Drive Time. I’ll be blogging and podcasting and all sorts of fun stuff as we take on Japanese nerdity for American sensibilities.  I’m even working on a “special project” for later in the year, so definitely stay tuned for that.  OTDT is where most of my personal views is going to be, while MP is going to be mostly about the business and promoting what I have to offer.

Like I said, no conventions, but still lots of activity.  Hope you all will check it out.

Don’t touch that dial…

Because there’s something brewing in the land of the Internets. It’s not convention-related (although there may be stuff in the works on that front, too) but it’s definitely fun and you’ll just have to wait until to find out what it is >:3
