Wow.
The last Journal I wrote was back in June. I had been laid off from my day job, and my entire focus was on putting the practicalities of my life back together.
Since then, I got a new job-- Much better, much more senior, much more opportunity. Much less time. So now it seems all there is time for are practicalities. I've barely created anything in almost a year.
I need to get back to it.
Update: Since posting the above, I've had a romantic break-up, and major upheaval at my day job.

THE WITCHWOOD - Artist Wanted for graphic novel
I have been posting recently about having a number of comics projects ready for artists.
First up is "The Witchwood".
The entire script for a 128 page graphic novel is written, and I'm looking for an artist to work with me on it as a creator owned project. The concept here is that the forest itself is more our protagonist than the young hunter trying to claim it as his hunting ground.
The setting is in the Dark Ages (or earlier) in a mysterious forest, long forbidden, with standing stones and other mysteries under centuries of growth. The only human characters are a young hunter, a mysterious ghostly girl, and an old farmer. Aside from the
Comics Artists for Creator Owned
I've been gradually getting back into writing, after far too much time away. Creating makes me feel more alive.
Today, I turned my one-shot FAILSAFE into a series outline and pitch for a series.
From there, I read through my existing materials, and realized two things:
First, I have at least four series ready for me to script a first issue. (Not including many ideas that haven't been outlined yet.) On any given day, I can work on whichever one suits my mood, until an artists is available and then I can focus on having scripts ready for them.
Second, I have three series that are completely ready for an artist to begin work. Outlines, scrip
Graphic Novel - Artist Wanted
I've been doing some writing again lately, but I need to be actively creating and working on a project again. I don't suppose any of my artist friends would be interested in starting a creator-owned graphic novel?
The idea would be something like this:
Start by finding a collaborator (penciller, possibly also inking) and work together on choosing a story. Then we'd put together an outline, character designs, and promo image. Then I'd work through the full script of a graphic novel, and the artist would start working the pages.
Once the pitch-- full outline, first issue script, 5 pages fully complete-- was ready, we'd pitch it, but keep wor
