I have lots of thoughts about this. But I'll try to keep things succinct. 1. Thanks for the shoutout! 2. It seems you're at the cusp of where I was via 2017-18 when I was doing mini personal projects and figuring things out. Which eventually led to The After Death. Very excited for where you're going! 3. I'm considering approaching publishers about my Mark Twain graphic novel idea. Another (published) graphic novelist I'm friends with said she'd let me have access to her pitch packet. I'll ask to see if I can pass it along to you as well. It may be good to see what she did and you can apply it as needed. I guess that's the main things. I could go on, but don't want to leave a whole novel of text. All in all-I've very excited for you (obvious enough since I too love comics and comic making). I relate so much with where you're at in your creative journey. Tell Ethan and Slightly hey for me!

Thank you so much, Brandon (and you're welcome)! I love how art friends often end up on similar paths, sometimes at the same time. I'd be very interested in seeing your friend's pitch packet if she doesn't mind, that would be super helpful! And I look forward to hearing more about your Mark Twain graphic novel idea and maybe being able to walk some of this journey with you at the same time--it's kind of an intimidating one (at least for me), but I'm really excited about dipping my toes in and giving it a real go anyway. Hooray for big scary steps forward!!
