I enjoyed reading about your adventure. Many, many moons ago my brother and I were at the San Diego Comic-Con riding down the elevator with two creators carrying their work to another meet-and-greet for a chance to pitch the as-yet-unknown to the world “The Teenage Mutant Turtles”. It wasn't that long before their work was out for the consumers to purchase. I am closer to 70 than 65 now and I write. Not well. But I write. What I want, enjoy researching, and reading. So don't give up on YOUR work. One step at a time, forward.
It sounds to me like a very successful and fun con. Doors close and windows open. That's all part of the journey, and I'm sure you just made more room many years of other creative opportunities! Joy is in the work, not where you work. :)
I have many thoughts about this post, but suffice to say, I’m glad you are going up focus on your creator owned work. I believe that’s the stuff that matters… and will make you more money in the end. :)

Thanks William! I am definitely not giving up. There are exciting things ahead for The Lump Sum Saga.

It's a little frustrating to see a project die, but I totally agree. I learned a lot creating the pitch document, so there was that silver lining.

I definitely want to attend ECCC someday.
Thanks Jerry. Here's hoping.
