Little Update

Chatting with my editor for Cin City 2000, it really got my feelings lately out in the open, so I thought I'd share/expound on a few points I had.

I'm currently on draft 2 of the 2nd issue, and I'm still trying to figure out how to promote this book and get copies sold. It's killing me, because I'm peddling the book and going to comic shows, and I'm getting zero feedback and site traffic. It's disheartening, but I'm trudging through it. I'm happy with the book, and issue 2 is even better, but I'm at a loss when it comes to whoring myself out.

I feel especially awkward talking to other creators because I have the typical apprehension and comparison issue. I'm going to NYC Comic Con this April (and my creator badge was approved), and I was hoping to meet a few creators and chat about the process and our aspirations, etc. I just feel really nervous about it, because I don't know how to carry myself without looking like a newb.

I don't want to seem negative, because there are moments where I'm totally in charge and I'm all on top of this shit. Still, there's these other times when doubt creeps in, and it's hard to shake them off.

Maybe I need one of those John Travolta spirit-shocking machines. Oh wait, I'm not an entirely crazy person.
