It's Official!
I received my first check from Platinum today, so I am officially a paid writer! This is a milestone for me, so I'm stoked. I've far from reached my ultimate goal, but this was the next step I wanted to achieve. So post and tell me how happy you are for me. :) Sometimes I wonder if anyone even reads this thing.
I still can't really talk about the project, but I can tell you the tentative name of the project and, of course, that I'm working on it. It is called Lab Rats, so keep an eye out for it.
Not much else to say at the moment. I have been up for about 20 hours and am pretty wiped out. This is the second day I've done this trying to finish up on some projects. Let me say that some of the lettering I've done recently is hot. I really surprised myself. I have a long way to go still, but I get better with every page (or at least Kep says so). These most recent pages I've done, that I can't show yet, have a lot of cool SFX and some pretty cool captions if I do say so myself. I'll keep you all updated on that and all my projects in the coming weeks.
I read Rich Johnston's column last night in which he discusses the illegal downloading of comics via bittorrent clients. What are all your thoughts on this?
Good ol' JR got FIRED last night by LINDA McMahon! Didn't see that one coming. In recent weeks we've seen Jericho, Hardy and now Jim Ross get fired, so I wonder if they'll show up on Smackdown or if the WWE has something different and *gasp* unique in store?
I am now on the interview staff for silverbulletcomics.com, so you now have one more place to read my words, if you read them in the first place. :)
Okay, I'm getting really bored of talking to thin air. Actually talking to air is better because at least it whistles at times. :) Seriously, this is a call out. I don't care if you want to tell me all my thoughts, opinions and viewpoints suck and are totally off the wall. I don't care if you want to berate me for hating Warren Ellis's "Fell" or for wanting to try out for American Idol (which I didn't get to do because I got laid off last week). Just respond, please! I know you all (if there's actually anyone there that is) visit other blogs and messageboards and post 'til your heart's content. I am giving you an open forum here, free license to tell me I suck (just keep it as civil as possible), so what are you waiting for? If what I talk about bores you or doesn't interest you then tell me what it is you'd rather I talk about. If I don't want to talk about it I'll just tell you YOU suck and forever alienate you. I have nothing to lose because it'll be no different than what it's like right now. :)
So take your best shot, give me something to talk about, or just ignore this and go on your merry way. Whatever you choose it's cool. I started this blog, however, in order to spark conversation and get people talking (specifically to me) about the stuff I bring up and other stuff as well. So give me a reason to continue this blog, please. I have many more things to do than post my thoughts and opinions for myself alone.
Please don't misunderstand me. I know the blog is fairly new, and I know it takes a while for people to warm up to a new place to post and all. And I'm not mad in the least bit. I come across like that a lot in person as well, when it's hardly ever true. Honestly, I said all that to get you all riled up enough to post. I may be ruining the effect by stating this, but I'm hoping it will have yet another adverse effect. I guess only time will tell.
B-Out

OK, I stumbled across your blog from a post you left on the CBR message boards. I'll give you a shout like you asked. Here's what I want to know:
1. Exactly what is the point of your blog? I can't remember the actual wording you used, but I felt it was too generic. Give me a point to rally on.
2. You say you just got paid for writing "Lab Rats"? Tell people about that process. How did you do it? How did you get their attention and why did they choose you to work for them? I think that would be interesting.
That's all for now. I've book marked your page so that I can return.
Thanks,
Crazz
