2011 Challenger: Blake M. Petit

| October 30, 2011 | 0 Comments

Greetings, all. I’m Blake M. Petit, author who cannot draw a straight line with a ruler, and I’m going to give this a go. One of my primary writing projects is a series of interconnected novels and short stories (and hopefully, someday, comic books) set in a superhero universe, and while my main characters are already pretty heavily fleshed out, this sounded like a great chance to develop a stable of background characters to further populate my universe. And who knows, if I like any of them enough, maybe they’ll step forward into the spotlight sooner or later. I’ll be presenting each of my characters not as artwork, but in a sort of “case files” edition written by one of my preexisting characters who’s keeping tabs on other heroes and villains turning up in his universe.

And I’ll actually be doing this project simultaneously with NaNoWriMo, where I’ll be tackling a new novel in my superhero universe. Clearly, I’ve lost my mind. But with any luck, this project will help feed that one.
