Nerd is Cool...For Now.

Cringe! Exhibit A of "psuedo nerds"

Many people will tell you this whole current trend of nerd being the "new black" started when the Big Bang Theory became popular. I disagree. I saw the ripples forming  at the turn of the century.

It was July something 2000 when I saw Bryan Singer's X-Men film (I saw it a couple of weeks late because I had to read the novelization first.Typical). I'll never forget how impressed the younger me felt walking out of that theater. It wasn't what I was expecting and by the reviews I could tell it wasn't what anyone else was expecting. It was cool. It took the spandex and superpowers and made them stylish and grounded, sure there was a bit of a corny factor but it wasn't cringe inducing. It was a good movie, geeks were happy - and get this - the normies were talking about it too! The chunky kid that used to steal my cool pencils and milk money was talking about Wolverine!

Projects for 2013/ Looking Ahead

Starting the year off right!

Wait.. don't give me that look, I'm not totally insane. Only one of the titles above is a full length novel, the rest are short stories and novellas. Still, 2013 is set to be a very ambitious year for me.
