Well, the outline is already finished, and the artist has enough script from, to go forward with the project currently. So signs point to yes overall.

Publishing currently...But one could say there are a lot of Industry Politics in foreign publishing. I'm working on my first professional publishing project where there's more than just one person (me) involved. I'm working with an internationally renowned illustrator-cartoonist in a foreign publishing industry. He's worked with numerous international publishers before. And that's about as much as I'll say about that. It just kind of feels like a big deal to me. I might never get this kind of opportunity again. There's no guarantee I'd get another chance.

I pretty much decided I'd look for a job after I move.... I'm starting to hate opportunities. I'm always forced to shut my mouth about them. I can never talk about big opportunities in my life because that would mean someone out there could endanger and sabotage the opportunities in my life some way. I hate not being able to talk about things and being forced to keep my mouth shut because apparently when you do big things that 's what you need to do to stay safe. Not talking about my current and near-future achievements and circumstances is hell depressing. But apparently, this is how it's done in business. But ever since Bryan Johnston, it's no longer safe to discuss things on a computer that could influence the future. Le'ts just say I have a lot of enemies and saboteurs in my life, in the media, and they're no joke.

I really only focus on one thing at a time. I was looking for a job, yes, but something else came up. I'm interviewing to get approved as a tenant for an apartment. But the waiting. Maybe that's it. The suspense of waiting to see if I qualify as a tenant in an apartment home. I'm so close to finally moving away from my family (that I hate) for good and living alone finally, but the waiting process is just nerve-wracking. My life is changing drastically My mom passed away on January 13, And my boss who was going to help me potentially make five to seven figure paychecks basically fired me, and now I'm moving and other important things are happening, but should I bring up positive things? You might notice I'm only writing about my present situation, and not bringing up any of my life history. Good riddance.

I'm depressed in a Trent Reznor way This may make me sound like a narcissist, but it's true, the only writing I want to read is my own.

I can't find any book that actually compels me to read it, Or almost any manga (other than One Punch Man) And Almost no TV Show compels me to watch it. Life lost its meaning. Maybe it's everyone else's nosiness and cynicism Or maybe all the cool stuff in my life already happened. I don't know how to manage feelings like this.

You're a Madman, I say! Is this.....Witchcraft?? I'll get the angry mob with torches and pitchforks.

No, I can help you, I just published my newest work there, Words Volume 1 So what do you want to know about. There's really no bad behavior or conduct at Lulu.com, As long as your publishing books, there's not really a way to get banned if that's what you meant. Do you have an account on Lulu yet. I could probably help you Respond to my messages on the boards, Tweet or PM me if you'd like some coaching or advice with lulu. I can help you with some of it. I've published at least 18-25 books there. I also do kindle KDP, so feel free to ask about those. I hadn't thought alot about my publishing "techniques" I just fill out the instruction on the page for each books user interface.

I could be brushing my teeth for christ sake!

Maybe it's because some people here say nice things every so often, not just mean. Must be that dopamine hit of getting compliments indirectly.

Well, I knew that one was coming...

Part of me doesn't WANT to leave, as I've been here since this board was launched...

I wonder if I deep down like punishment or something, to keep my ego in check. Maybe.

People talk all this shit, yet I still stay. Why?

Spectators are not one-tenth as aggressive as perpetrators.

High five. Gross.

Exactly! Eva fans are fuckin rapists, man! That's EXACTLY what I'm saying. No shame or dignity man!

MHA Ep. 28

I did draw this, though. PLLLLUUUUUUSSSSS ULLLLTTTTTTRRAAAAAAA!!!!!

I didn't draw this, I colored it black

oooooooh. Creepy.

I'm watching The Olympics Closing Ceremony. THE OLYMPICS CLOSING CEREMONY Cartoon Network's gotten such bad content I don't even feel BAD watching NBC instead of Adult Swim anymore. They're pretty much the same thing. God. Oh boy, a show about teachers, cuz I'm a teacher, so clearly I can relate to that. Well, that's my alibi anyway.

I know a lot of people like it, and I'm not going to dispute that. They're popular shows, I'll say that much. I'm not disputing their ratings. Just their content. I don't think it appeals to the first generation of adult swim viewers. First generation adult swim viewers used to have something to look forward to. At least some Home Movies or Boondocks or Metalocalypse or Aqua Teen Hunger Force They don't play anything that's actually creative anymore. That's the whole problem....Adult Swim used to be so kind of intellectual and very creative. But Now....I bet if I were to turn the TV on right now I wouldn't see anything obscure and lesser known...or indie. I'd have to wait till 1 AM or 4 AM

Thanks Raptor Pat. It's rent. It's looks very upscale for low income housing. It's in Longwood, a small town community. Nothing "ghetto" about it. I'll be visiting and interviewing to become a tenant for a small house in the villa in a few days. I could be relocated within the next week or two if all goes well. No roommate, not family, NOTHING, If this works out I'll finally be living in a house alone! FINALLLYYYYYY!!!!!! YES!!

It was either the Cleveland Show or King of the Hill when Adult Swim started going downhill, acquiring sheep-le shows like those that obviously were so right-wing and obviously inappropriate for their once sacred, counterculture sensibilities. Adult Swim jumped the shark a long time ago ESPECIALLY with Rick and Morty (vomits). Now Adult Swim pretty much doesn't play any American show that doesn't also kill human brain cells. The Death of your braincells is definitely a prerequisite for watching them, like, Ever. So not worth watching outside of Saturdays from 10:30 PM to 3 or 4 AM. Whenever the good block within the bad evil block finishes.
