Yeah, I'm not big on pulsing headaches. I haven't started a weekly podcast singing their praises. Not a fan. For some reason, though, pulsing headaches have been a big part of my life this weekend.
Maybe it's all that exercise I've been doing for the last few of months. We can fix that.
Wife-Lady has informed me that in the Heroes/24 throwdown going down tonight, Heroes is going to be the winner in our home. I'm surprised. I'm not big on pulsing headaches, but I am big on nuclear explosions and fallout (the fictional kind, not the real kind).
Aaaand I'm blogging about television again. Seriously, what's my problem?
Comic-wise, I'm reading tons of writer interviews in this and this, which have been very exciting reads (non-affiliate links). It's very motivational. I've got my nine issue series laid out.
The only time I've submitted a script sample was to Dark Horse comics back in 1996 or so. I was probably 19. It was an awful script, and they told me to keep trying. I think I knew it would be rejected even before I submitted it. I knew zero about comics. I did a very mature, responsible thing and gave up immediately. I also stopped buying comics for about eight years.
I have no idea why I started buying comics again, nor do I have any idea why I started writing again.
I still know very little, particularly about writing them. I have no plans to make writing comics my occupation, but I do enjoy doing it. I'm a part-timer. I'm lazy. I procrastinate. My current goal is a page a day. That should mean roughly a comic a month. I second-guess every word I write.
I think I'm more Harvey Pekar than Peter David.
According to Peter, he bangs out a comic script in about six hours.
And that's why I hate people like Peter David.
The first step is recognizing you have a problem.

Anyy chance you would be able to TiVo that HEROES ep? Man I want to watch it but other TV is simply repugnant.
It should go online tomorrow morning. But Wife-Lady is impatient.
