So it’s been a week since Super Show, which is arguably the best weekend of the year for me. I haven’t really done much work in terms of comics writing, but that’s mostly been due to my crazy schedule:
Monday: Decompress day, write a blog
Tuesday: Work 11 am – 9:30pm
Wednesday: Get up at 7am, Thor Screening, podcast recording, write two blogs
Thursday: Work 11 am – 9pm
Friday: Work 11 am - 9pm
Saturday: Free Comic Book Day, hang out with Ian.
I didn’t get a lot of sleep due to various reasons (early mornings, dog not being able to breathe, caffeine induced insomnia, regular insomnia) so I was pretty exhausted by the end of last night. Had work today, editing podcast as I type this…
I wonder if I can keep up with all of this and keep sane. The answer has been no: I stopped podcasting for months, I will tend to hermit away. I haven’t written anything. I’ve organized thoughts. I owe people e-mails and proposals. I gotta get to all of this. I gotta get to finding artists. I would feel upset with myself usually, or disappointed, but the feeling in the air is different. Being surrounded by a few hundred people who care about the same thing you do, who want to see you succeed (even if they want you to shut the hell up sometimes) is a very heartwarming thing. Of the 365 days of the year, I get that maybe 3 days. So I cherish the time I spend with everyone and I hold onto this as long as I can. In past years, the feeling went away, let’s hope I don’t waste it this year.
