I intend to be at the DALLAS Wiz World Con-Nov!

In Response To: form follows function... (4j)

Hope to see you there. Will be my first time at a show in Dallas since 1995.

About the writing, sounds like you have the picture now. You don't have to have everything figured out before you start the writing (or the art). Things work themselves out once you dive in to it. It is the ACT of doing it that brings you the revelations.

You just see the next stone in the water to leap to even if you can't see the next one beyond that. then when you leap there, you see the next one, and leap there and so on. Writing is an act of faith. Writing and painting is a lot like praying.

: y'know, things are looking up, now i've got my nose in my
: book, scripting as if there's nothing to fear.
: loose ends are coming together, when i thought it would
: not work.
: i've just always thought up so many storylike stories,
: never knowing how i could make any point, but i see it
: differently now- functioning as a form, i think,
: instead of trying to function to make a predetermined
: form, a problem i've had for many years, instead of
: trying to become something, i am now that something,
: doing what i've always done. a maze almost, i think
: i've got it, i'll stick with it and see what happens,
: sorry can't make it to cincinatti, or san diego, but
: i've been planning for months to show up at the dallas
: con in november- i hope you will be there- i'd like to
: meet you in person, shake your hand, give you a copy
: of the comic i drew for my writer friend, to repay
: your kindness for sending me signed copies of a
: copuple of your books- fan edition and gallery. i
: doubt that i will have anything of my own writing
: ready by then, but i'll be working on it, i've got
: about a thousand issues written, but i'm rewriting,
: from a fresh perspective, it seems to be working like
: a solution or formula, when i've written 15- 30
: episodes, i will start to illustrate.
: in the meantime, i'll be collecting my thoughts, and
: drawing and writing, and if i get a car tomorrow, i'll
: deliver some pizzas.
: ok cya
