Don't let the industry eat at ya like that. I ain't worth it. Keep doing what you're doing and continue to get better.

Just remember: There's no money to be made in independent comics. It's all about the love of the medium.

It eats at me everyday because of my love for writing and creating. For my love of the characters out there, the stories, the writers, the artists, and everyone else who doesn't get their due, and that people don't know exist. Call it my fault for caring to much. I know there's no money to be had in independent comics. But, there is respect and honor of doing something you love.

Yeah, it used to get at me too, dude. But it's certainly not going to make me lose any sleep. That's your time to escape from the madness!

Believe me, every waking minute I'm alive I will fight for my right to create. But sleep time... that's another story.

I don't lose sleep. However, I think it about all the time. Sometimes I dream about it. It's something I constantly think about. November marks the 16th month since I decided to dedicate myself to writing and creating, specifically for this industry. During this time I've learned so much thanks to people who have been so kind to me and who have made me their friends. What I've learned though, also troubles me, because of what I know

You're old ;-)

And yeah, I'm gonna hit you up. I'm so tired as of late, as this is the third straight day that I've worked on my car for about eight hours. Just wears me out. We'll get this baby done :D

Bump since it's been quite a busy night ;-)

I hope I can get a few people's thoughts on this.

[CraigM]

And one last bump for the day crew.
