Whew!

Boy, it's a good thing you don't exist. Otherwise you might be really upset with me right now. I say this because my foray into game creation is turning out to be pretty nonexistent. Oh, I'll try to get some reviews out there, or something similar, but there's simply no chance anything more is possible. Shame, because I'd worked up a few fairly interesting boards and cards. Had some fun ideas to explore.

But, whatever. (This is a blog, I can be conversational here)

You'll still get weekly updates of my strip (just imagine how much more you might love that fact if you actually existed!). Also, I'm returning to my first true love: writing fiction. In fact, I've got three novels going at once. That's a first for me. It's actually kind of fun to bounce back and forth between them. Without a doubt, fiction is the most expeditious art form available to the storyteller. Just look at those authors who put out multiple books a year! (or maybe some should slow down a bit)

So that's where I am at this point. Aren't you glad you don't care because you don't exist? Existing is sometimes less than it's cracked up to be. And it's damned expensive too, naturally.

Incidentally, probably won't be posting these, or any other, novels online (and why should you care either way, seeing as how you don't exist and all). For the foreseeable future, they stay in my drawer. I may try to get them published, or attempt a POD thing, eventually. But for now I'm content with writing them and keeping them to myself (my wife gets to read them because she's my favorite). Besides, creation is its own reward. Else I'd be playing many more video games and leaving it at that.

BTW, just kidding about the not existing thing. If you exist I won't hold it against you. I know someone sees my stuff because I've made contact with, and have received comments from, several nice folks over at DrunkDuck. Yay! (Shout out to Subcultured, my partner in crime)

I couldn't be happier as a creator than I am right now. Well, I suppose I could be happier. What I'm trying to say is I'm happy enough. And that's precisely where I wanna be. The "happy enough" place. It's the only ecosystem stable enough for truly sustainable living.
