Boy. It sure has been a while since I've been here. Lately I've been reading a lot of blogs which made me think about this account. I've always been fond of the title of this blog and it would be a shame to lose it.
I'm not really sure what type of content to put here. With all these new-fangled WEB 2.0 sites I've got a place to store my research, news articles and random ideas. It seems silly become a virtual pack-rat, endlessly cluttering the internet with my junk.
I think I'll just keep a basic journal of my thoughts here. Maybe some struggles or frustrations in my work or personal life. I'm of the mind that nobody really reads these things so it's hard for me to put tons of effort into something that's mostly for my own amusement.
I guess for the sake of documentation I'll talk a little about where I'm at now in my professional and personal life. I've got a pretty serious girlfriend and she's got an incredibly cute two year old daughter. I've sort of acquired an instant family in the past five months and it's been simultaneously amazing and terrifying. I'm learning as a go with this parenting stuff and overall it's been an enjoyable process.
Professionally I feel like I'm walking uphill with a twenty pound weight on my back. I write all the time. I'm constantly coming up with new ideas and filing them away for later use. I've recently limited myself to working on a handful of projects, thus increasing my attention to detail on each. Recently I entered a round of TV Pilot competitions with less than thrilling results...not that I've let it bother or discourage me. If anything it's been motivational to me because I can FEEL my self getting closer to my ultimate goal.
Just did an overhaul on the Vicious Circle website. I'm happy with the new look and anxious to get some more content up there. The VCP message board is alive and kicking. We saw a nice influx of new members after Megacon and even more after San Diego Con this summer past. Over at the VCP online store things aren't selling as much as I'd like. I'm working on some ideas to increase traffic in there....including an exclusive online comic available ONLY at the VCP store. The MYSPACE.COM account might be helpful for promotion something like that.
That's all for now.
