Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Like all writers, there have been periods where I obsessed over the work of other writers. “Atlantis Wasn’t Built for Tourists” was a holdover title from a time when I thought I would be the next Harlan Ellison (ha! Haha!) The title seemed suitably Ellison-esque. www.kickstarter.com/projects/epa...

Just make it exist first. You can make it worse with each new pass while getting increasingly frustrated later.

Then wtf has been happening with the lack of support for the new Pixar movies? They make them and just quietly release them with no fanfare.

I'm due for a re-read myself. Absolutely love that series. When I got back into comics in college, I asked my LCS what else they would recommend and Astro City was the first thing. They said the first volume was the only book they had a money back guarantee on and no one ever collected it.
