From “25 Ways To Be A Happy Writer,” at terribleminds.

I might quibble with a couple things here - when you’re a professional writer, it’s perfectly acceptable to take a job for the money to keep baby formula in the cupboard - but my soul says “amen” to 97.3% of this.

“My standard for verisimilitude is simple and I came to it when I started to write prose narrative: fuck the average reader. I was always told to write for the average reader in my newspaper life. The average reader, as they meant it, was some suburban white subscriber with two-point-whatever kids and three-point-whatever cars and a dog and a cat and lawn furniture. He knows nothing and he needs everything explained to him right away, so that exposition becomes this incredible, story-killing burden. Fuck him. Fuck him to hell.”

SNAPSHOT #1 GETS SNAPPED UP
Debut issue of Diggle and Jock miniseries gets second printing

SNAPSHOT #1 by Andy Diggle and Jock, the Image Comics debut of the renowned creative team, has sold out after hitting stores on February 6. A second printing (JAN138087) is set to be on shelves on March 13.

The four-issue, black-and-white mini-series follows Jake Dobson, an ordinary comic book nerd who becomes entangled in a bizarre murder plot when he finds a cell phone with a gruesome photo stored on it. Now, whoever is responsible for the killing depicted wants the phone back and Jack out of the way… permanently!

To celebrate the success of SNAPSHOT — and as a nod to its City-by-the-Bay setting —James Sime, owner of Isotope Comic Book Lounge in San Francisco, is launching a special SNAPSHOT contest for fans of the book!

Simply take a picture of a staged “murder” on your cell phone and post it to Twitter with the hashtag #snapshotcomic or on the Tumblr page snapshotcomic.tumblr.com. The pictures will be posted on the Tumblr page, and selected fans whose pictures are posted will receive a limited edition SNAPSHOT bookplate signed by the series creators. In addition, Diggle and Jock will choose their favorite picture as the grand prize winner, who will receive a piece of original art by Jock from SNAPSHOT!

“Diggle & Jock’s SNAPSHOT is so great, definitely one of the best reads on store shelves!” said Sime. “And the action takes place in a comic store here in San Francisco? On Fell street at Gough?! The Isotope had to celebrate!”

The first issue has garnered excellent reviews:

“Reading Snaphot #1, the world that Jock draws has the paradoxical feeling of being both detailed and minimalistic at once. He is selective — choosing to focus the reader’s attention in certain places with densely rendered patches of texture and depth and in other places, using only a few lines to suggest space and presence. The reader gets a sense that every line was precisely placed and serves a purpose, just like how in good prose, every word counts.”
- Comic Book Resources

“Jock and Diggle have established strong creative chemistry over the years, and Snapshot takes advantage of both creators’ strengths to create a satisfying story with striking visuals.”
-The A.V. Club

SNAPSHOT #2 will be in stores on March 6.

After the successful launch of SNAPSHOT, written by Andy Diggle with art by Jock from Image Comics, Isotope Comics in San Francisco laid down the challenge for folks to take a page from the thriller comic and add to the mystery with a cool contest. Here’s how it works:

“…and then he says, ‘Is that what happened to your watch? I just thought my ass was the bomb.’ “

I think this just might be my favourite photograph ever.

Had to post this as the linked file on CBR was heavily pixelated. (Guys, when resizing BMP images, you have to convert it to Grayscale first.)
