My Vida Location

For the last three months, I've been trying to get my comic series finished and up online. More people are showing up and checking out www.graphic-novels.com and (I hope), liking what they see. I haven't been able to touch the work.

My roll as business owner has me working crazy hours and trying to figure out how to as they say in my country, "make a dollar out of 15 cents". The constant pressure to create a tangible income out of thin air is a bit stressful but oddly liberating.

When I was working for the "Man" at the Yellow Pages sales office, I felt totally at the mercy of my environment. I could not do what I needed to do to get ahead. Now that I'm the lifeboat and the ship, I wake up with the sense that each day has to mean something in order to enjoy next month.

I'll be back at work on the comics. I promise. My kids just think they're entitled to food and shelter, so I have to make sure that they have it. It's great to be back at my home office full time. This is the place I call my "Vida Location".
