So the incredible news is as of this Wednesday I will have my first published in stores comic book piece. It's part of a single issue anthology that is projected to need a reprinting already within in the month! I'm also invited to a local art gallery for their showing of the comic. It's really overwhelming and amazing, like my writing dreams are slowly coming true.

The lame news?

I'm not getting paid a cent. I mean I did the work for free, knowing this and was not upset in the least, but it's the thought of my dream. How the hell does one be successful in writing and expect to actually make money XD My day job is kind of lame, I have no passion for it and I adore my art, but I just don't know how to ever make ends meet. Hell even with my current job I may need to increase my credit limit just to make rent.

Commissions DO help, like tremendously, and I have caught up on a few and have got a few more to try and help me afford this month. If anyone does want more please don't hesitate to message me.

Also the important part. If anyone wants a copy of my issue, please message me and I can get you one. They're about $5 Maybe a couple more depending on shipping costs, and I can sign it too if you so desire.

What are your thoughts guys? How do you deal with your dreams vs the crippling reality?
