Pretty good first day at my new job—though I’ve got quite the learning curve to overcome. I think this will be a really fulfilling job, though. 💖 The downside: I’m SO tired but I need to write lol. 🫠

Tomorrow’s my first day of work after being unemployed for about six months. And it’s going to be my first in-person job in years. I am anxious, but also excited. I think once I get past the nerves, this is going to be really good for my mental health. At least, I hope so.

July’s newsletter was tough to write. But the short of it is this: GLITCH, as a comic, is on an indefinite hiatus as its artist has left the project. I’ll search for a new artist, but in the meantime, I’ll be adapting and continuing GLITCH as a series of novels to ensure fans get a complete story.

Okay so I’m pretty sure How to Train Your Dragon is a PERFECT live-action remake. They didn’t mess with an already great thing—they just enhanced it. That was an absolutely stunning watch.

Today, while at the Carlsbad Flower Fields, I learned that the key to befriending butterflies is buying a new sun hat at the nearby gift shop out of desperation because you forgot that the sun hates you. Apparently butterflies LOVE new sun hats bought out of desperation. 🦋

I kinda really wanna get a GLITCH coloring book made. Not really sure where to start, but I think it could be a fun thing to offer, especially since we get so many kids at our convention tables. Anyone ever put one together and willing to share some advice?

I’ll be selling copies of GLITCH as well as lots of merch at SFS Art Fest on Saturday, April 26, at Heritage Park in Santa Fe Springs! Come say hi and support local artists and vendors from 3-11 PM! ☀️

My brain is buzzing with post-apocalyptic ideas for a fantasy book trilogy, a short story anthology, a novelette, and a couple other speculative books. All on top of ideas to adapt GLITCH into a YA novel series. Maybe this is why I have chronic migraines…

Since I’m planning to expand my stories beyond just comics, I’m looking into rebranding Wasteland Comics with a name that encompasses my passion for telling hopeful post-apocalyptic stories. So far I’m leaning toward Light at the End Press. Thoughts would be appreciated!

WonderCon Day 2 was our most successful convention day yet! It was amazing getting to see returning fans and meet brand new ones. I freakin’ love conventions! My heart is so full. 💖☀️
