Boy, its been one of those weeks. First of all I started school again, which normally wouldnt be such a big deal, but it turns out one of my teachers believe that the entire grade for the class should be based on two essay papers. So Im a little nervous about that. The only other problem Ive run into is the stupid financial aid department at my school. Im supposed to have a lot more aid then they has me down for, so Ive spend the past week being kicked around the switch boards. Normally Id be fine, but I dont even have enough money to buy the one book I need this semester and I have a quiz on Thursday on the first 10 pages from the book. So, Im in a bit of a pickle.
However, this isnt even the biggest stressor in my life. As one or two of you might know I went to a convention last week and managed to meet up with everyone from the small publisher I write for. Turns out no one really knows whats going on and everything seems messed up. Through out the day of people running around in circles like chickens with their heads chopped off, I slowly stepped up to the plate. By the end of the weekend I was some how put in charge of almost everything. Not only do I write the majority of the comics they are going to be launching soon, but now apparently I have to look over contracts before they are sent out, work our the calendar and decide on due dates, start writing a tri weekly blog and possibly a web comic for their website, and find every comic shop in the top fifty cities in the united states. Not to mention that Im spear heading a number of promotional projects for the company. Needless to say its a tad bit stressful, but at the same time I love being this busy. Its nice to know that Im actually accomplishing something with my life. No longer do I spend my days on the couch waiting for inspiration, or something good to come on the TV. So, thats good.
Now for a quick spoiler, my series Codename: Rover and Jill Savage Ninja for Hire are in talks to be picked up by What The Flux Comics and could be on comic store shelves by next spring. I know its a long time, but the wait should be worth it. As the negotiation progresses Ill share more details with you.
Speaking of comic news, I should have a complete issue of S.O.A.R. done some time this month. Im going to ship it off to a number of companies to see if they want to pick it up. If not Im hopefully going to be self publishing the series. So, if you love zombie-like creatures and violence, youll love S.O.A.R.
I think thats enough rambling for now, I should probably get back to reading about Luis Buuels life. His autobiography is actually pretty interesting, then again surrealist often are. Good night and good luck.
