Every Friday (or there abouts) I'm going to post new short stories to the web, either on ArtistNation, my personal website, or other venues. My reason is two fold: one to get back to writing regularly; two to receive comments and criticism, since I haven't been able to find a stable writing group I'm turning to the web. I will link to those stories here. I am open to any serious criticisms or editorials. I just want to be a better writer.

"Dancing Jesus" is a short I did last week as part of a… Continue

Oh, and to introduce myself and say hi, so . . . HI :)

Still, I've always wanted to self-publish...or at the very least, publish something online (even if I make no money from it).

At 12:51pm on September 22, 2008, Cary said…: That's awesome. I'm actually on comicspace, too...I use the initials of my penname "LC" as my username.

At 12:28pm on September 22, 2008, Cary said…: Yeah, I'm not holdin' my breath for DH...but it's an opportunity I plan to take full advantage of (I submitted once in mid-December 2007, but it wasn't accepted, so now I've seen what I've been doing wrong and I've fixed it).

Ryan Ottley?! Seriously?! I've read some Invincible. I really like quite a few Image Comics titles (but I read so much that it is hard for me to collect anything ongoing).

Which is why I've been lookin' into Dark Horse Comics. They accept submissions from lone, even unpublished, writers. Now it's just a matter of finding something I'm passionate about and write.

(I am actually working on a comic book script as I type this now...and it's something I've been workin' out for months...but I really like how it sounds so far, and the general review is good so far...fingers crossed).
