30 April 2010

Just a quick post tonight to belatedly announce the winner of the signed copy of Invisible Fiends: Mr Mumbles. I was supposed to randomly select the winner on Tuesday, but … um … I forgot. Anyway, I now have randomly drawn a winner, using the age-old names in a hat technique, and the winner is [...]

Help bring Gangrene to life

You might have noticed a new menu option has appeared just below the logo up at the top of the page. Because the Gangrene website is woefully out of date, I’ve put together a Comics page here on BarryHutchison.com, which will allow you to keep up to date with everything I’m doing in the wonderful [...]

What a loser.

Well, I didn’t win the Author Blog Awards, but then I didn’t really expect to. The well-deserved winners were Emily Benet, Sam Starbuck, and the living legend that is Neil Gaiman. All three blogs (well, Twitter feed, in Neil’s case) are brilliant reads, and well worth adding to your bookmarks if you haven’t got them [...]

The 250th Post!

19 April 2010

It has been a long, bumpy ride, filled with danger, excitement, and some stuff about water pistols, but we made it, loyal readers. We made it to 250 posts. Being a naturally lazy person, with little or no inherent motivation to do anything that requires any effort whatsoever, getting to post 250 is a big [...]

On the day before the 250th blog post we’re taking a look back at the very 1st one. It was written on my mobile phone, using a tiny bluetooth keyboard, as I travelled to Glasgow to meet Kathryn Ross, who would soon after become my agent. Back then, Invisible Fiends was still called Imaginary Friends [...]

Not got much time to post tonight. Had a hectic day of stressing, worrying, panicking and eating ice cream (the last one wasn’t so bad), so going to try to get a couple of hundred words of Invisible Fiends book 4 done before heading down to watch Flash Forward. So, very quickly, here’s your post [...]

The changing face of Mr Mumbles

As mentioned yesterday, I miscounted where we were in the countdown to blog post 250, so I said I was going to stick another post in so the countdown didn’t actually land us on post 249. I had planned just to chuck out any old rubbish about how I’d spent my Sunday (eating ice lollies [...]

I’ve just realised I’ve made a grave mathematical error when counting the number of posts remaining until the 250th. I thought that, after today, there would be 2 more posts and then it would be the 250th. But I was wrong. After 2 more posts we will only be on the 249th. Aaargh! Still, never [...]

Continuing our countdown to the 250th blog post here on BarryHutchison.com, I’ve dug this little gem up from the archives. An Open Letter to Wasps. And as for today’s Thing That Used to Scare the Crap out of Me…? This is a still from a movie produced in 1978 – the year I was born [...]

Technically it should be “The Count up to 250″ but that just looked stupid as a post title, and I look stupid enough in my day to day life without doing it here, too. By my reckoning (or, more accurately, by my website stats) this is the 244th post on BarryHutchison.com. Since I did nothing [...]
