Fuck fuck fuckity fuck My huge graphic novel that I spent three years writing and thumbnailing might get shelved due to outside forces. This is the second time this has happened to me ...and of course I told everyone about it because I was so proud of it →[More:]

I seriously never want to produce anything creative ever again if this shit is just gonna keep happening, I have so fucking little to show for a DECADE of continuous work, the actual published corpus only represents a small fraction of the stuff I've put hundreds of man hours in that never went anywhere- not creative dicking around but actual formal, signed contract projects that turned to ash halfway through

. It just feels so fucking inane to keep trying. I wanna give up. None of this makes economic or psychological sense. Fuck fuck fuckity fuck.

This was supposed to be my big legit publishing credit too, not a bullshit one.

I'm going to drink until I can't form words.

So sorry man :/ I can only imagine the toil and excitement that something like this represents. Sucks

That definitely sucks. I was looking forward to this from the little I knew.

Balls, Whelky, utter balls. I am so so sorry to hear this. I hope you can get this straightened out soon.

What about self published routes like lulu.com, Whelky? not an option? IndieGoGo maybe?

Surely there's a way to get the awesomeness out there for the benefit of the world, Whelky.

I'm under contract and the problem is with the artist.m

I'm Sorry.

This freakin' sucks, I am sorry. Can they bring in another artist?

I just stopped by to say...don't give up... at my age a decade is a drop in the bucket... a dream lasts forever..

hang in there....

This sucks. Hugs my friend. I know it's no consolation but it's not just about creative pursuits. I've done thousands of hours for tech firms that busted. 200.000 shares of a company worth shit = shit.
