Back for a Real Purpose

Hi everyone, I’m probably starting a whole new blog here as I haven’t been here in a few years.

Anyway, I continue to need “Cover”, as in, I am still in hiding as bipolar, so this blog is back.

I started my graphic novel about being bipolar back in the year 2000. Since then it’s been a long 17 years of writing it and then getting stumped and not writing it. I think I am going to post the whole thing on here for now, while I get up the gumption to make copies of pages and send them to publishers.

With a graphic novel, I see that most publishers want copies of actual pages, which I definitely have. The problem is they are so far photos taken from my iPhone,so I will have to take the whole thing somewhere and get good copies. Each page is 11 x 14 inches which won’t fit on a regular scanner unfortunately.

Anyway I need somewhere to complain and bitch about the process and whether it’s worth it to try to share with the outside world how it is to have a mental illness that gets directly in the way of your process of trying to tell a story.

I have a fragile confidence in this book since 2000. I recently shared it with two people and got some feedback that has led me to come back to this old familiar blog and my old familiar bipolar closet.
