C06P06 – Leave them there
Back from dream land, but in a decidedly different location!
Lots and lots of things have been going on lately — slowly but surely, the trailer for the Kickstarter campaign is coming together! As I prepare for this project to launch in October, I can’t help but marvel at all the odd little coincidences that have been lining up lately. People that have contacted me, new people that I’ve met, each of them with an interest or goal that lined up perfectly with my own. Things have been coming together so well, it practically seems like it’s “a sign”!
Have you ever had things line up for you out of the blue? What happened – and how did it turn out?

No. I always have to WORK for things to line up for ME.
Hmmph!
<3
That’s too bad. When things line up for me, it’s cuz an awesome person (like this guy named Shayne) directs OTHER awesome people (like this gal named Amber) in my general direction (for ever increasing awesomeness).
I can finally take you up on your offer to announce the launch of my comic, Conceivable. conceivablecomic.com I couldn’t get Webcomic or Comic Easel to post pages, so I’m just going to use the blog and collect pages on one page of the website. I think this will work okay since I’m doing a collection of short stories, one page per story. And I guess I could put it on multiple pages if the load time becomes a problem.
Anyway, thanks!
Congrats!! That’s awesome!
I didn’t realize it was going to be a series of shorts — that’s neat!
Thanks! I just decided recently, since the story I have isn’t that long and I can take the concept of two stories in one for multiple shorts.
I’ll let you know how the things lining up for me work out in the next few months. XD
Also, I can see enough of Zhiro back there to want to give him a hug.
I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you!! Let me know if there’s any promotion I can help with!
Right about when I was thinking, “Hmm, I should go over my novel with a finetoothed comb again,” a publishing company announced they’re taking unagented submissions in October. I don’t believe in signs, but gee howdy is that one awesome coincidence.
Poor Mizha.
Good timing! Go for it! If they say no, no loss. If they say yes — potential gain!
I know. I’m, like, freaking out.
This is late, but I’d like to add my encouragement. Go for it! You’re not going to lose anything if it fails.
Signs! So I’ve been listening to 1 or 2 podcast episodes a day. I saw Liz’s crazed TGT vote scramble in the Spider Forest community, so I added your guys’ TGT podcast to my queue. I was poking through the right-brain business plan book she mentioned, but it didn’t really click with me, so I went to bed. That was Thursday.
Friday at 4am, I was woken from my sleep with this fever of inspiration, and I wrote down a very cathartic journal post about issues that’ve been plaguing me ever since I started my webcomic. Since it was 6 by the time I finished, I figured I’d listen to the next thing in my podcast queue: the Paper Wings podcast interview with Brian McDonald. You can read more about my reaction in the comment I made there, but suffice to say, it felt like a sign. A big flashing amazing neon sign like you pass on the freeway at night and it makes you a little dizzy. That kind.
It’s mostly your fault because I keep finding awesome comic stuff on the internet through you.
That’s the kind of blame I will gladly accept.
Also : OH MY GOODNESS that interview is AMAZING with Brian McDonald!!! After I heard that, I immediately bought Invisible Ink and it continually blew my mind while I was reading it!! So, so, SO amazing. Chapter six is greatly improved by everything I’ve learned, and I expect I will re-read that book many times in the future just to try to absorb it all. So simple and small, but overflowing with wisdom.
