Addiction

I've been fortunate in my life to where I've never had to go to rehab. My late, older sister was the same way. My younger sister...well, over the last decade she's been in and out of rehab.

As a nurse. She can't stay there all the time.

As I've mentioned time and again, since January of 2024, I set a goal for myself in order to grow as a writer; every month I was to write an original comic script.   

 It could be any length, any genre but it all had to be original. I kept it up all through 2024 and the following year and right now I'm ahead for 2026.

After finishing "Stan & Me", I sent Marcelo some other scripts. He liked the three I sent but I could also sense that maybe they didn't excite him. Then I told him to wait because I had another one with a twist. This one would have no dialogue, letting the visuals tell the story.

When he was done reading the script he told me he loved it and wanted to make that one next.

This is that story.

First Step...and Next Steps

If you're a regular reader of this blog, you know that last year I published my first 22-page comic, Stan & Me. I've been selling copies to people in person, in stores (One store actually sold out and bought more!) and done some online sales as well.

But I also knew that eventually, I'd have an opportunity to sell copies at a show. I recently joined Panel One, which is a non-profit group here in Calgary for local comic creators. I was at home early last month informing me that as a member, I would have an opportunity to work the Panel One table at Calgary Expo.

Naturally the first thought that came to me was, "No."

 This is a different sort of post from what I usually do but...it's my blog and no one's forcing you to read.
