I've been writing for some time here, and it all seems to be the same. I get happy, I get sad. I repeat. Well if you caught my last post, I have a story that I wrote, published. It was about my favorite comic book stores in my area. Yes I still do collect comics. The only one I read and collect is Knights of the Dinner Table(KoDT). It is a fluke comic that ran in a magazine which is no longer in production. It was called Shadis. The master mind behind the whole thing is Jolly Blackburn. He is a graduate of Ball University in Indiana, and he began to write this comic as a filler for the rag. Little did he know that several years later, he had a following. When Shadis folded, he looked else where to publish his comic. A man by the name of David Kenzer was looking for new stuff to publish. They struck a deal and now 15 years later, they are still friends and co-writers of the most popular gaming magazine out there. They go to gaming conventions most in the east but are one of the big points in the show, due to their "Live" readings of KoDT. I've been a fan since 2000 when i first picked them up in Seattle, and thought this is a weird name for a comic, and really didn't get into it until I lived in Idaho and found a game shop there that was great. KoDT is my release to gaming when I can't game. I get to read what others get to do and enjoy it. Not completely filling but just enough to get a good laugh and remember the old days when I was single and could game whenever. Ok I went off track from what I wanted to share but I like to share the things I like to read.
Anyway, back to what I wanted to share, I have my first writing published on Associated Content. It is a site that pays you for assignments or stories you write. My first story which has yet to be published is on how to fry the perfect over easy egg. I know I had no other thought on mind so I wrote what I know. Thats what they say, write what you know. Then this last story is writing about a sports movie, game, etc... So the last sports movie I saw was The Blind Side. So we will see if it gets published too. I am hoping that I will raise enough money by writing every day and seeing how far I can go with this. It is not a full time job and I could get one soon, then I could just keep this as a hobby and bring in some extra cash when I have the chance. So we will see. I do have an interview tomorrow for a resturant in Clearfield and hoping to get on. It is for a short order cook. So we will see how that goes. Other then that, life is as it is. Same stuff different day.
