The Demonweasel Speaks

Oh god, work. Who knew being your own boss would be so taxing. People with sense, I’d imagine.

After a full computer upgrade, including a new subscriptions service and inventory tracking system, we took a break to work a booth at a local comic con on my day off. 6am to 8pm. Rock on, day off. But it’s all mostly done now, and all over but the tech support shouting (like, I know I’m supposed to pull 12 Green Lanterns, but who are they for? Computer: I dunno.).

All this pesky work nonsense means that I haven’t been as creative as I’d like to be. The “Shadows of the Past” revisions have been slower than iced over molassess, and to add to that I got a new artist for another comic book project I’m working on. “Untitled Supernatural Cross-Country Road Race Story.” That has been keeping me up nights, watching all the Fast & Furious movies and Cannonball and Gone in 60 Seconds (the original, not that Angelina Jolie shit) to fuel my inner, unfulfilled gearhead. Get it, fuel? Go screw, I’m tired.

Twitter makes blogging hard. I’m like, this is way more than 140 characters. Is that okay? Did I just type Google into Google? I think moving to a shorter system of blogs and away from long blogs would be really helpfull and make me feel less like I have to report on every minuscule of the event of the past however long I’ve neglected this.

But I will say I was interviewed for comicrelated.com about the “Gifted” preview that’s being published this fall. It was kind of surprising, being interviewed at the booth I was working with little to no prep time. Hopefully, I’m coherent. Did I mention I got up at 6am? That’s. Not. Normal. The idea of getting published is still kind of foreign to me, like a weird dream or wish that I may jinx if I think about it. I know it’s not a BREAKTHROUGHHUGEDEAL, but it’s something. Someone said “Yes, you’re good enough,” and that’s nice. Here’s hoping the anthology is a big deal and we all meet again in Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money.

So that’s the gist of it, and why I haven’t written much lately. Kind of wild yet boring, busy but boring. In short, very much like me.
