It's been a while...

Journal Entry: Sat Aug 5, 2006, 12:35 PM


Hello!

I was a comic book writer (and publisher) in the 90’s, and I’m in the process of getting back into it. I’m also writing a multimedia novel that will include panel-to-panel illustrations as well as other artwork. I’m currently searching for talented artists and colorists to collaborate with. If you’re interested (or know someone who might be), please email me samples of your work—or just point me towards your dA gallery.

Sorry, but I’m not interested in doing superhero stories. I would, however, be more than happy to look at superhero pages if they represent your best work.

I've posted some of my published comic book pages so that you can get an idea of the quality of my writing. Just follow the comics links above.

Take care,


Michael

Michael! Hope you're still hanging around, even though it doesn't look like you've been submitting anything new lately. I'm going to need to dive back into your gallery to retrieve all the faves I lost when I shut down my page a while back. Love to hear from you again. Let me know what you've been doing lately.

that a sudden passion joined them.
Such certainty is beautiful,

haven't noticed you around in a while dearie. Hope things are going well and that the "real life" stuff that's keeping you away is good rather than bad!

Ah, yes. Indeed it does. I have fallen prey to that, as well.

Hey, how are you doing? Sorry I haven't been around much lately. Real life takes its toll.

Have you ever written poetry for an "object of desire" and given it to that person, unsure of how he/she might react? Please answer here: [link]

I'm glad you're making progress.

I haven't been writing. I'm too focused on the job and the family. I tend to write as a response to negative emotions, so not writing is sometimes a good sign. This may be one of those times.

The baby gave me his cold. The weather is getting better, so I hope to be well soon. I'm eager to ride my bicycle.

Oh I'm doing just fine. (Except that I, like your baby, have a cold that I just can't seem to kick.)

Have been writing a little poetry and a lot of music and have been drinking copious amounts of tea.

I think I might be crawling out of that hole I'd dug so deeply for myself.

You were right about the stars: each one is a setting sun.

Oh, hi, Rebecca! I didn't see your note there. I haven't been online much. The new-dA shine had kind of faded for me.

The baby is good, but he has his first cold right now, poor thing. I started a new job this week, and I can tell it's going to be much better than the old one. My new boss doesn't remind me of my stepfather in the least.

How are things with you?

We haven't spoken in an age.

How's the baby?

I've gone in cycles. I kept in pretty good shape when I was your age, mainly so I could attract women. Then in my late 20's, I slacked off. Now, I try to stay reasonably fit just so I can enjoy life more. Kids and all that can wear you out. Getting older kicks your ass; you need all the help you can get.

I'd recommend Hollywood as a novel. It's about the making of the movie, Bar Fly.

For poetry, all of the compilations published during his life are solid. The posthumous ones tend to be less consistent. I’m partial to The Days Run Away like Wild Horses over the Hills and You Get So Alone at Times that It Just Makes Sense.

What's the one I'm thinking of. . . north by south, maybe? I forget what it's called, but that's my favorite.

preferably poetry, but if there is a standout novel you think worth reading, i am open to it.

Oh, I can do it. It just takes me an hour and 20 minutes each way. I'd like to shave that down to about an hour, if I can.

You want another poetry book? A novel? Short stories?
