Finding my voice.

This weekend at Tucson Comic-Con reminded me of something very important. I started making comics to tale stories of all kinds to any audience that would listen. I have lost that drive and the passion due to a hectic schedule and a person trying (whether he realizes it or not) to ruin this end goal. It took Tucson Comic-Con to show me that.

Going forward, I am going to take advantage of every opportunity, commit myself to writing at least a page or outline a day and begin submitting a pitch a week to studios. 

I have made this proclamation before, but my resolve is stronger then ever. I have met someone special in my life and her support has been amazing. One she and I will most likely have kids. Do I want those kids to have a father who simply gets up everyday and goes to a job that means nothing to him but a paycheck to support them. No. I want to show them that dreams are achievable, even if it is a couple weekends a year. 

I love comic books. I love film. I love art. I am going to find a studio that believes in me. That believes in my artist. That believes in me like my special someone does. 

We will find or voice. We will find our story a home. We will....
