it's go time.
Wow.
It's the first of June. That's like, 6 months into the year. Is time flying, or is it just me?
I started this blog at the top of the year, without really knowing what will happen. Try as I might to resist joining the online glut of blogs and myspaces, there was something deep inside that urged me to try it. We'll, 5 months later and here I am. And what a 5 months it's been. Sort of? Not really.
I mean, what really happened?
Aside from the numerous technical failures beyond my control (both with my server and my health), was there anything really worth noting about my life or my creative work or anything else?
Sure, I've been toiling away at Kissing Chaos, among other freelance (read: day job) work for months. I even took some time off to focus solely on Kissing Chaos. That period of time was drastically cut short by a surprise trip to the hospital, and about a month of recovery time. Though in the past little while I have put in a lot of hours and turned out many pages of story. But like some overprotective mother, I can't seem to let go, and just allow my creations to run rampant in the blogosphere. So despite my numerous efforts at work, this blog seems to have been rendered useless due to some deranged lack of self confidence.
Anyway. I guess I'm doing that thing, that people do when they go through a midlife crisis. you know, taking stock. Assessing their situation. Wondering how they got, here. Only, rather than examining my whole, life, I'm just zeroing in on this year. A mid-year crisis?
Nevertheless, next week, a brand new KC mini-comic will drop like a bomb on the MoCCa show in NYC. Let's hope I don't freak out and keep all the copies I print up locked in a safe. ;)
Time willing, I'll have my blog proper running from Mydestroyer.com before I go to NY.
In other news, I've been working away at a story, that will appear next year as part of an online comic anthology. I've been chipping away at it for months now, and I'm also writing it up as a film treatment. (I sorta have a connection of sorts to the movie biz). OVer the summer I should start getting some art done for this project. I'm excited, as it's very different from other work I've tackled. Even My Destroyer, of which a preview book is still in the works.
My grand design for the rest of the year is to have numerous projects of mine all come to a head in the fall. Around Sept, I want to release a My Destroyer preview comic. Around that time I want this Kissing Chaos Sweet Nothings story unleashed online. And also in the fall this new comic (currently untitled) will start getting some webspace. Despite the hectic year, I'm still pretty much on schedule. It's just again, I need to make some dough, so walking that tight rope between paying gigs and my creative work is a fine line that I've braved with little success in the past.
I will try.
Here are some of the things keeping me sane:
-the Edmonton Oiler's run for the Stanley Cup
-the Wreckers
-Sarah Harmer
-the Red Chord
-Between the Buried and Me
-Sputnik Sweetheart
enjoy!
