Expanding horizons

I recently posted that my award-winning friend Ricky Lima had suggested a while ago that I focus on writing comics, and that I had started doing so and was enjoying it.

The problem with writing indie comics that you can’t draw for yourself, of course, is that once you’ve written your script, you’ve done as much as you can for it until you get together the cash to pay an illustrator to draw the pages. Which has worked very well for Ricky–I did mention he’s won awards, right?–but which is difficult for me to swing financially. I shall start saving toward such a goal, but I don’t want to just be creating a backlog of material that will have to collect dust while waiting me to be able to get it drawn.

So I won’t be doing exclusively comics (sorry, Ricky), because other stories in other formats are pounding on the inside of my skull demanding to be told, but I will absolutely keep comic scripting available as one of the various formats I’m happy working in.
