Tonight’s installment… “So, now we have a blog...just like everyone else!”
They have become a staple of websites large and small. It is something I said I would never write. “Once you write it down it is there for all to see. You can never retract anything, it is just out there. Pretty conceited to think that what you have to say is that important.” That was my logic and why I shied away from doing something like this…and then “the primordium” comic book project came along. Getting to just this point has been quite a journey. When I began I knew almost nothing of what I was getting myself in for. Now I know a little bit of what I am getting myself in for and I clearly know I do not know enough.
Research for me is critical. To enter another field, I had to make sure I read or watched everything I could about the subject. What I discovered is that there is no one path to producing comic books. Everyone has a different in, different direction and motivation. Without a clear path you are left to thread together the best and most productive direction. Unfortunately; there is very little written on the web. So I thought I would write this blog to highlight this projects path. No sense of delusional self importance. Hopefully you find it at least…interesting. If it helps anyone accomplish their goals; either by doing what we did or by doing the opposite, then this blog has far exceeded my expectations.
Through this I will be thanking a lot of people. It has taken a village to get me to this point. It has taken another village to get this project to this point. Where is that? We have sent out submission packets to potential publishers and are now waiting and hoping. I wanted to put that in the first blog so the header doesn’t lend a false impression. The roller coaster ride is ongoing and probably has just started. Hopefully this helps. I think it will help me. Just writing this little bit helps to clarify a lot of things and I have already written down some notes for things I need to address. It is an ongoing project that will constantly be evolving.
So that is the nuts and bolts of this thing. Not much exposition so I guess I should just start at the beginning.
Next Time…The Beginning
