Hey, I actually do WRITE!
Heh...most of my writing projects are big things, miniseries and such so while I wait for those to be drawn I mostly letter. Most people are probably starting to think of me as more a letterer than anything. BUT I have a short story coming in the NEXT issue of Trailer Park of Terror!
JD has been prodding me to do some writing for TPoT and I finally did, the story "Lost Highway" will appear in Trailer Park of Terror #5! I expected it to be further down the line but problems with another story caused them to bump it up and next thing I know I have some B&W art in my inbox. (Can't wait to see it in color!) I've published a graphic novel, I've had several short stories published in Digital Webbing Presents...I thought this was all old-hat to me by now. I have to be honest, however, and admit to being a little excited! My last new published writing was back in Digital Webbing Presents #21. That was...HOLY CRAP!...that was clear back in March 2005! Has it really been over a year since I've seen my name in print with "written by" next to it!?!?
Don't get me wrong, I've done a lot of writing in that time but none of it has been published yet....and may not be for months and months. Hmmmmm...I think it's time for me to start thinking more about writing for other people. I write it and THEY deal with finding an artist and getting it done and getting it published. I get work out there with a FRACTION of the stress. (Of course JD will find this hilarious after the grief I gave him over suggesting a minor change or two. That's something I DO like about doing my own stuff...total control. But I can learn to deal with it.)
Hmmmm....what next?

You can write for me!!!
Heh heh. It's nice to see you getting back on the horse, Kel. I haven't had anything published in an even longer time than you, but I'm hoping 2006 is the year of the break out. Let's keep it rolling!
It's about time!!!
Thanks, guys! Hey, Ed, if you ever want anything written to where all I have to do is write and you wanna deal with everything else....just say the word! :D
