I'd be in San Diego right now. I guess that's why I'm overcompensating by blogging everything newsworthy from Comicon on my Write Club Tumblr-blog. I even posted up my assesment of the collection of Thor movie material on the main Write Club blog.
Time to rethink that whole thing. It's much easier for my to scour Tumblr and pull the relevant information and post it there rather than craft a whole post on my other blog. I just want to somehow make money doing what I'm doing, reporting on comic book stories. I know comics better than nearly anyone, having spent 20 years of my life immersed in it.
I'm also trying to create my own. My graphic novel Legend of Liquid Fury has been in limbo for a few years, which I intend to correct this fall as I release a few lettered pages at a time and give my take on Asian film and the crazy kung fu adventures that inspired it. I really just need a stable environment and access to my movies for that.
Once Reilly gets back from San Diego we're going to start up on Power Play, our digital comic which will be coming to iPhones, iPods, and web browsers in the next few months. I can't wait to get into more stories with Mac Washington and the gang (you'll meet them soon) as I feel like Reilly and I have really created a unique cast that resides right here in NYC.
I guess I really can't leave NYC right now. I need to be here, to draw on the power and frustration that this city provides. I just really need to expand my job beyond digital images. It's a pretty dying industry and I really want to write in some shape or form for a living. I'm hoping I can start freelancing, blogging, pitching, get an agent, liscense properties...the dream.
I need to do something. I can't be broke like this anymore. I want a nice apartment. A TV, with cable. Maybe a kitty. I'd like to go on a vacation, even if it's a weekend away upstate. If I keep repeating this perhaps it will somehow come to pass. I'm told that it seems like this is me at my most together. I feel that way, so it's nice to have it confirmed.
Everything's just up in the air. Where will I live past August? Will I have a job at the Daily News for much longer? There's so many possibilities. I guess, it really just depends on what I want now doesn't it? I better figure that out and fast.
