You know when you hear a song and you like it a lot, but you don't really know who the band is and for some reason you never really listen to the rest of the album, and then you hear that they dropped a new album, and you decide to listen to it all the way through, and you're just in love with it - and you love it so much that from there you listen to all their singles, eps, and albums? I think that's my experience with you. Only regret is that I didn't listen to that "first album" fully the first time around. I don't know if that makes sense. I think your point about music and comics and the similarities really struck a chord with me (pun intended).

Yo, Matty Ro! (Sorry, you should never have called attention to it. It’s a thing now.)

I want to start by saying I’m a writer as well. Ok, maybe I’m more of a baby writer, in that I have only written a handful of things and no one really wants any of it. I guess “almost a writer” is more accurate. I hate the idea of promoting my stuff too (which is easy at the moment because of the no one wanting any of it part), but hearing you promote your stuff comes off as genuinely entertaining. I love listening to artists talk about art, musicians talk about music, and writers talking about writing. Creativity and passion are wonderful to witness and we get to see more of it when you gush about it. So I guess what I’m saying is: I understand how much it feels weird to say “you should buy this thing I did” but it’s far less weird for us on this end. I mean, most of us already are? I know I am.

Anyways, I’ll try to remind myself that I said this, just in case someone does want my stuff. No promises, though.

You’re doing great.

Sorry to be a gadfly, but what movie did your mom write? I only feel like I can ask this question because I bought 4 copies of 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank (one for each kid) and because I like slashers.
