As for your covers... KEEP THE SMILEY! I would be so sad if it wasn't the cover. They are so iconic.

That has been EVERYONE'S reply.

Okay,....that does it.

Farland was correct.

I'll find a way to make this work.

Thank you for the input, Kummer. I treasure community participation.

Enjoyed the morning coffee today β€” the positive vibes and, while I don’t like to use the word simply because it’s overused, the β€œauthenticity” β€” it’s the right word. But I’m a fan of both you and Simon K Jones, as you know. Here’s a confession: I have never read comics, not since Donald Duck as a child… not that I wasn’t interested, just haven’t gotten around to it. Have a good time in MO. Don’t know if you’ll be in St. Louis, but my brother is there, so say hello. 😊

Funny thing, Shannon, is that the very first comic book I ever sold, was to a 55 year old woman who had never read a comic book in her life...but as so floored that one would be on the internet, she spent a buck, read mine, then contacted me via email.

We became the best of friends, and Deborah Harper became one of my greatest advocates online for almost 7 years.

Funny thing is....this is about the story.

It's not about the method of the telling...though I try and make sure to prepare as many forms as I am able, so it can reach as many hearts as possible.

I now have a preferred mode of storytelling, and it's print.

Me,...the author/writer/creator...and though I love comic books as a medium, I'm not sure when I'l ever get back to that from of storytelling.

So like what you like, Shannon....doesn't matter what it is.

If I can create it for you, I will.

...that is my commitment. =)

Two journeys this week, huh? One not ideal, saying goodbye to a friend, but the other will be good for your soul. Safe travels, and thanks for continuing to show up and visit on Monday mornings. πŸ₯° I love our visits. πŸ˜‰ Which is kinda odd to say, since it's one-sided, but I talk enough. It's good to just listen.

HAH! NONE of you talk "enough".....LOL

...more, please.

Yes, I will do all I can to always show up, share the love, the challenges, and most importantly, the joy and adventure....where I get to point at each of you and REMIND YOU:

YOU are MORE than you THINK you are!!!

I'll keep sayin' it until you know it and feel it, and it resonates to the core of your bones.

You have INTRINSIC VALUE, Ann.

...intrinsic.

It's one of my favorite words.

Wait,....someone is actually LISTENING to me??

...ARE THE REST OF YOU HEARING THIS!?!!??

LISTEN to the old fiction guy who spends too much time alone in a room with no windows talking to figments of his own imagination but wants everyone to be happy and come to an innate understanding they are, indeed, wonderful, and worth more than what this bat-cr*p crazy world says they are worth...BECAUSE THE CRAZY OLD MAN IN RIGHT!!!!!!
