Tortured Life - Kickstarter

TPublications are now working on a new project (via Kickstarter) to create the next issues of Tortured Life, a thriller graphic novel by Neil Gibson. After reading the first issue of Tortured Life (which is free to read on their Kickstarter page and their website), it is very clear that what they have in store is going to be highly successful and completely enrapturing. After their Twisted Dark and Tabatha graphic novels that have already been published and were completely brilliant, Tortured Life is guaranteed to follow in their footsteps and keep TPublications' theme of excellence running along smoothly.



So, in a nutshell...

Tortured Life is about a guy named Richard Carter who has somehow developed the ability to see how each and every person dies. After firstly thinking that this ability was given to him to help save others' lives, he then begins to feel powerless as he is seeing the inevitable fate of all the people around him; resulting in Richard living an incredibly Tortured Life. 

I have loved all of TPublications' graphic novels so far and have thoroughly enjoyed supporting them through being a member of their street team. When first meeting them and trying out their comics in early 2013, it has been exhilarating to see how they have grown in just over a year. With the brilliance of Gibson, Wijingaard and Watters, Tortured Life is guaranteed to be a novel to remember.

Thankful Thursday #17

I really should apologise for not blogging this time, as it was purely down to laziness. I always think, "Hmm, maybe I should write that blog post now," but end up postponing it every. Single. Day. Nevertheless, I am here now and here is a new blog post. You're welcome.

This week I am thankful for: 
- Going to London this Saturday and seeing 1984.
- Getting a B in a Psychology mock. B. I GOT A B. (Big thing for me).
- Finally deciding to give up reading Emma by Jane Austen. I'd decided to force myself to read it as it's "one of those classic books you need to read before you die" but eventually abandoned it as I've never read anything so pretentious in my whole life. Holla at Jane for being one of the first women writers, but damn her writing is dull. Gah.
- Finally having a good clear out in my wardrobe. 
- Selling out for the run of The Railway Children. 

Now the big one. I AM HALF WAY TO MY TOTAL AMOUNT FOR CHENNAI CHALLENGE. HALLELUJAH. 

 
Well I am 53%, so I guess that's even better. I am so thankful to everyone who has donated and supported the fundraising as it completely means so much to me. Quite soon I'll be holding an Open Mic night at school as it'll be a good opportunity for people to sing in front of others and to do a little more fundraising. 
And on the subject of fundraising, I'm now selling these babies: 


It was difficult to find a decent angle of these, but myself and my grandma have been making little rabbits out of flannels with creme eggs in the middle. It was a sweet little idea, and they're ideal at the moment as we're rolling up to Easter. I'm selling them for £2 each, so if anyone wants to buy one and would prefer a certain type of egg/colour flannel then please let me know.

Perhaps I'll blog again next week if I don't put it off AGAIN.
