Infinite Possibilities

A video by the film group, Pes:



It’s been a while since I’ve heard from my publisher. I’ve been nervously wringing my hands, thinking about all the possible things that could be going wrong on the other end. Infinite possibilities are the key to unraveling me.

But finally this last week I got through to my editor. He was very encouraging. Recently, he’s lost two editors due to various circumstances, so interviewing new candidates for the open positions was added to his mountain of tasks. In spite of the chaos, he assures me that he’s extremely excited to push the Mal and Chad graphic novel forward. He even generously gave me his personal cell phone number so I can call him if something comes up. I feel like I am in good hands.

Still, the infinite possibilities are all pulling me in many directions. The book is in good hands, but on hold until the thumbnails return to my hands with corrections and suggestions. In the meantime, I can do anything. What to do… and even more of a challenge, how do I make myself do it? I have plans to build a website devoted entirely to Mal and Chad. I have ideas for mini-comics and graphic novels. I have preparations to do for Comicon. I am paralyzed by my inability to prioritize.

Let us hope these days are but a few rough waves as I scramble madly to grab the rudder of my little vessel before plunging into the broad seas of professional cartooning.

Yay! That is wonderful to hear! I cannot wait to be able to go to the store and pick up Mal and Chad (and then buy a copy for everyone I know!)

I am sure everything will fall in order just as it is meant to!

I always make lists of things just to get them all out on paper! You\'re gonna do great! Congrats on the editor too :) I\'ll definitely miss you and everyone else at Comic-Con this year, but good luck and have a great time!!!!
