14.1.06 Caliban to the Audience

Forgive my silence. Of late, my fortune has been so good that it's almost killed me. I am Wanted. In Demand (for now; ask again next week). Four new graphic novel series judder towards their debut; film and TV work gains momentum almost daily. New projects are being planned with old friends. Add together what is now a full-time writing career with the ongoing necessity of part-time night work to pay the rent and a series of gigs as camera operator on indie film shoots, and you have a long line of excuses which basically translate to my barely getting enough sleep to retain hold of even my degraded version of sanity.

There will be changes here. This current state forces them. The days of long, philosophical contemplation on this blog are, sadly, in all likelihood finished. I'm sorry; I enjoyed it too. My weekly Ninth Art reviews are also hors de combat. More fundamentally, with two all-ages series coming out this year, I will have to excise several older blog entries not suitable for a PG-13 and under crowd. Most of Amphigory will be taken down at the end of January. If you haven't read The Love Junkyard and other stories, do so now, because barring a publisher stepping in with an offer to collect them (ha!), these are the last few weeks you will have access to them. I will also not be doing any more mixtapes, at least not released on a wide-open forum like this. They are, after all, technically illegal.

Yes, gentle reader, I am going to attempt to behave. At least in public. I have to; my dreams are threatening to come true and I must not - I will not - hit that self-destruct button that I love so much.

I shall be using this main blog for non-contentious things such as tales of bringing films and comics to life, and sneak previews thereof. It won't set the world on fire, but perhaps it will distract and amuse, at least for a little while.

Good behaviour most emphatically not being my natural state, I will continue to write friends-locked Livejournal posts in which my more R-rated and socially unacceptable adventures and opinions are aired. I may even continue the mixtapes there. If you wish to be a part of this, sign up to Livejournal (it's free) and friend me. Post a comment to my LJ stating who you are, something interesting about yourself and that you are over 18, and I will friend you back. Voila, access. Just don't expect me to read your LJ in return. I barely have time to keep up with close friends of many years standing. Or sleep.

Good luck with that behaving thing. I understand that it's not always easy but supposedly it pays off. Or so I'm told.
