October was a huge month for YAMR, as the Halloween Spooktacular was a big hit. There were over 1000 streams just on Halloween Day! (A normal day has around 10 streams.) Probably back to normal numbers for November, but I suspect that things will pick up once I launch the holiday themed playlist for December.

NaGraNoWriMo Starts Today!

Today is the start of NaGraNoWriMo, and I'll be attempting to write the script for a 175-page graphic novel over the next 30 days. At least three other comic bloggers are joining me; how about you?

Sadly, this means that I'll probably have even less time to post to this blog than usual, so don't be surprised if posting frequency drops off a bit this month. (Or maybe I'll get stuck in huge writing blocks and I'll post like a madman to avoid actual writing...)
