My second post....and it only took a month.

I should never have committed to this blogging thing. I wanted to be cool like Layman and Peyer, but I ended up looking like your Uncle Dave, whose VCR clock is still flashing 12:00. It's not the technology that's holding me back, though...it's the motivation.

San Diego brought opportunity to my doorstep. Overall, I'd say the forthcoming moves are satisfying but ultimately lateral, at least in terms of forward motion and the ascent up the ladder.

Why won't the stars align and allow me the chance to write a superhero book? I've proven myself time and time again in the world of licensed properties - and I still love them - but here we are, five years in, and I'm still denied the capes.

IDEAL: to write a superhero book from scratch (strong preference towards revamping an existing character from the ground up) and know that I'll have at least 12 issues to make it shine. THAT would be the bee's knees for me. I just know I could knock that shit out of the park...

...but it's certainly not in the cards at this point.

*sigh*

In other news, my creator-owned "real-world anti-terrorism team" project with David Messina is coming along nicely. It's called "The Balance" and I expect to have the initial submission pages written in the next few days. David's already turned in the character designs and I think we've locked down an AMAZING collaborator for the covers. More on all of that soonish...
