Ok, so Sarah's friend Rich who I have never met, is also giving me a hard time about not posting frequently enough. How can you expect me to work with all this pressure? He's a writer of some kind too, I think, but last I checked, I still have more rejection letters than him. So there.

By the way, my little sister looks just like the female half of the Canadian figure skaters who got a gold medal today. My brother-in-law pointed it out to me. It's true. Especially when she smiles.

So I'm in love with a book. (Hey, it happens.) It's called Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art by Scott McCloud. I hear he's written a new book, too. I'm going to be buying both very very soon. Uh, yeah, I'm just borrowing the copy I'm in love with at the moment. I promise to give it back undamaged.

It has me really wanting to learn how to do comics - not just writing them, even the art. That's something I've been intimidated by for a long, long time. Art, that is. I avoided classes on it in high school. Now I'm wondering if it's too late to learn. My recent studies about movies and now comics has me realizing how important the skill of storyboarding really is. Time to break out the pencils and have the courage to create some really lousy drawings.
