The Daily-ish Journals of Writer, Cartoonist David W. Wright
Hey, there. Dave here with an episode I did last Wednesday, which I was supposed to upload on Friday, but totally dropped the ball on. In this episode, I answer a reader question on whether I'd write politics into our books. I also talked about concern for Kindle Serials. In the next episode, I'll talk... Continue Reading →
Hey, all. I'm back. Sorry for the delay. I explain why in this episode. I meant to post this on Monday, but my schedule got slammed and I dropped the ball. On the plus side, I've already got tomorrow's episode recorded and ready to go! In this episode I talk about being addicted to food, and... Continue Reading →
It's Monday and I'm back on the road, walking and talking. Topics today: Non-spoiler mention of the Game of Thrones premiere. Editing Crash and Threshold. Jason Gurley's awesome cover work and whether we should commission him to do Yesterday's Gone covers. Then I answered a listener email from Laura who asked which I enjoy more making...

Just got done walking and here's today's podcast. Subjects included: Doing covers for Crash Brief mention of Ray Chase, the voice actor for Boricio. Talking about why I love the show, The Americans, so much. (no spoilers) Regret Meditation and I wrap things up discussing the anniversary of my best friend's death. Note: in the podcast,...

Hey there! After being sick for all of last week, I'm back to walking. Thanks to everyone's well wishes. First, I have to say that YES, yesterday's post was an April Fool's Day joke! The night before, I was talking with Carl Sinclair about doing something for April Fool's Day. I pitched something, and Carl suggested... Continue Reading →
Hey, everyone. After a lot of soul searching, I've decided to quit writing. For a full explanation of WHY, please watch the video below or click the link to see it on YouTube. Or click here to see the video on YouTube.
Still feeling sick, so I'm going to rest up and return to The Walking Dave on Monday. I feel like I should've rested yesterday rather than gone out walking because when it came time to do the Author Hangout last night, I was sick, grouchy, and my back hurt (from my crappy bed), so I...

I'm sick today and the last two recordings I did, the audio was messed up, which meant I had to get off my ass and walk TODAY if I wanted a post up here. So, thank you, accountability! In this episode, I answered Heather's question on what comic strips I liked and how they shaped... Continue Reading →
Thanks to everyone who commented yesterday on the first post. In today's episode (recorded last Thursday), I walked and talked about the story I'm working on, Crash. Don't worry, no spoilers. I also talked about the music I'm listening to while writing Crash and why I think we like the music we like most. I... Continue Reading →
So, a few weeks ago on The Self Publishing Roundtable, we were interviewing author Nathan Lowell and one of the things that came up was the podcast he does when he goes walking each day. And I thought, wow, that is the best idea ever! So, naturally, I stole it. You see, I've been NEEDING... Continue Reading →
Before I start this post, first let me say, I like cats ... at least in the abstract. They're cute, they don't lick you all the time with their stupid germs like certain canines (and don't even send me a letter about dogs or cats having clean tongues -- they lick their butts, how clean...

(note: This is a rare cross post which I also put up at Collective Inkwell. Sorry for the duplicate posts if you subscribe to both blogs, but since this is a post regarding the future direction of this site, I wanted to post it here, too.) If you’ve looked inside our book Z 2135, out... Continue Reading →
So, it's that time of year again where people look at all the shit they're doing, beat up on themselves, and proudly declare, "THIS YEAR WILL BE DIFFERENT!" I've never been a big believer in New Year's resolutions, because let's face it, I'm used to lying to myself. What's one more broken promise to lose... Continue Reading →
(Note: even if you're not a gamer, I think you'll enjoy this post) I've played a few great games this year. From Dishonored to Far Cry 3 to Tomb Raider to GTA V, this has been a great year to be a gamer. But none of those games stacks up to my most recent purchase:... Continue Reading →
Tonight we took the training wheels off my son's bike, and I couldn't be more nervous. My wife, in attempts to encourage him to learn to ride without the training wheels, told him he could ride faster without training wheels. For my son, who LOVES to run as fast as humanly possible, it was like... Continue Reading →
One day to go until Z 2135 launches... I'm excited to see how this season will be received by readers. Thoughts going into this season: Will YOU love it? Will haters still keep hating? Just waiting for the first, "the Simpson's did it" comment. What you will think of a few of the more WTF... Continue Reading →
So, in the last post, I talked about lessons learned from Z 2134. In today's post, I'm going to talk about some of the ways we approached this season (Z 2135) to make it better. Don't worry, there's no spoilers for either Z 2134 or Z 2135 in here. MORE ZOMBIES One of the first... Continue Reading →
(This is the first in a series of posts leading up to the publication of the Kindle Serial, Z 2135 on August 27. There will be no spoilers here. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below or email me. Please avoid leaving spoilers for Z 2134 in the comments.)... Continue Reading →
This blog has become something of an ignored bastard of late. The problem with blogging for me has always been having too many different things to write about, but they're all over the place topic-wise. Going back to 1999, I've drawn and published comics, and written about the following: comics, writing, TV, movies, parenting, weight... Continue Reading →
We're in the home stretch now of writing Yesterday's Gone: Season Four. I wanted to write some daily behind-the-scenes sort of stuff here as we go through the process, for fellow writers or readers who want to follow along. I'll avoid spoilers, but will talk a bit about some things going on, some of the challenges... Continue Reading →
Or, rather, make an ass out of myself to? Here's the deal. Once WhiteSpace: Season One gets 100 verified reviews (meaning you bought it and left a review), I'm going to dance to one of these songs. And seeing that I'm a big fat guy better suited for writing than anything involving actual movement or... Continue Reading →
I love trailers! Whether they be movie, TV, or video game trailers, I love watching them... except when they go too far. A good trailer teases you, gets you excited for the upcoming movie, show, or game, and creates a sense of curiosity, anticipation, and gets in your head. In my next post, I'm going...
