Dear readers,
Forgive the lag between posts. Between Easter and a new project, there hasn't been much in the way of spare time. I've been working on the layout of- Accidentally Heroic, the upcoming sister site to the Curve Zone. Accidentally Heroic is the project mentioned in "Back in the Saddle". Accidentally Heroic is a blog where I will be posting a story with the working title of Les Feuilles Mortes. Les Feuilles Mortes is a tender homage to a beautiful poem by French surrealist Jacques Prevert. The poem is a powerful clue into one of the central themes of the story- but be forewarned that to understand the clue you will need an accurate translation of the poem. The title of the poem- Feuilles Mortes, literally translates to "Dead Leaves", however, it is often translated as "Autumn Leaves".
So what does a story about Super Heroes have to do with a French poem? The upcoming story is part contemporary, part comic book, and just a hint of noir.
Although Les Feuilles Mortes is the working title of the piece- the blog is "Accidentally Heroic" for ease of search. One of the defining moments of the Curve Zone was when I figured out the name for it. Curve Zone was serendipitous- it wasn't registered, simple, and could reference a variety of themes. Accidentally Heroic is much easier to spell and remember than Les Feuilles Mortes (At least here in the US).
Estimated date of launch: 4/27/2011.
