This is lovely, Craig, and oh so validating. I think too often publishers and podcasts, etc, think we want to hear about “success stories,” or what they consider success, and not about the variation and color that inevitably makes up the majority of the literary industry. Books, like everything right now, seem to be going the way of independent everything. And I’m here for it. Oh, also I need you to become a political cartoonist. Single panel. I will read ‘em all.
I was really into creating comics for a while. It honed my writing, first time I really learned about compression. (Not much space for words per panel.)
And I think you are right, there is a big shift to independence in a lot of areas. It would take a lot for me to choose a different path right now.
I will always wish and hope for you to attain the auccyand fame you deserve. You have achieved success in creating qork you can be proud of and us lucky readers love. ooh ah ah
As a proud member of your cult following, I just want to say, “Pass the Pacifica, please.”
Next one is on me :)
Thanks bud, and say hi to your lovely partner.

Thanks for reading, Ellie!
I think of Heathcliff, the Family Circus, and Gary Larson, and it reminds me I don’t need to be long-winded
Who says that I want to grow up?
Being grown-up is overrated.
Believe me. I tried it.
I hear you.
Ah the things we pursue .... I pursued so many for so long. The good thing is that it all eventually goes in the writing pot!
Everything in the pot!
Now I want a banana. And a bug.
Hahahaha.
That'll happen.
Quiet your mind! Or your appetite.

I'm so glad you like my qork.
I don't even know how I mangled 'success' much less 'work'. Too much coffee or not enough coffee.
What is auccyand anyway?
It's sounds dirty.
It's a sexy amusement park in Jersey
