Vampires Keeping Me Up At Night

You know the saying, "It could be worse," right? And I understand it. Hell, I live it! I am absolutely the last person you would call ungrateful. I feel blessed, for lack of a better word. But I wonder sometimes just how mental I really am. Maybe it's just American culture. I'm the bi-product of decades of televisional (did I just create a new adjective?) violence and heroism and drama and love. So I often wonder what the big deal with life is all about. Before I get too deep, I'll explain. Via television or comic books or novels or whatever, only ghosts, robots, vampires, aliens and probably God exists. Here, in our reality, all of this stuff is science fiction. Well, that leaves a sour taste in my mouth sometimes. I mean, how boring is our reality really? While the cosmos completely make me rethink everything that I know and believe, here on Earth life is far from extraordinary.

Holy wow is this script huge! It's towering... I've printed out the entire script so that I can revise a hard copy. I've picked up a composition book, and I'm going to dig in this weekend.

I pulled it out of cyber -purgatory and printed it out, so that I may make some hard revisions. I guess now's the time, because I started to miss the story, the characters. For me, that was cue enough... The screenplay project, the MARVEL project - these things will be there, but I don't have the strong emotional desire to work on them as much. So it's back to the book that is so much a part of me. Oh yeah, it's the first day of Spring! Sweet...

Bitter disappointment today. Marvel apparently no longer accept writing solicitations. A week ago it was, blah blah "Marvel is always looking for talent" and now it's "Marvel no longer accepts submissions." What a kick in the ass. Granted I haven't received replies from both of my letters to them, but I'm sure with this news I can now look forward to not hearing from them at all. Huge waste of my time it was even writing the submission. I honestly worked up something so well-written that I unbiasedly attest is much better than most of the stuff coming out in the medium today. But this is me being bitterly in denial, so I'll shut the hell up presently. Good day to you all.
