Well hey there, #portfolioday! Great timing since I'm looking for work!

I do horror mostly, but I can knock just about anything out of the park. I've done war stories, superhero stories, Sci-fi, Comedy, you get it.

I'm still terrible at picking the stuff for this though.

I know this stress well, they can tell you it's as safe as anything but, like you said, 3 hours is 3 hours.

Last year my wife and daughter went to a couple Broadway shows while I was at NYCC.

She has had this magnet on the fridge since then and I just this morning noticed this name.

I can't stop laughing.

I never would have thought games like this would be my go to when I just kinda need to forget everything for a bit. I guess doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again has really grown on me.

I just ran into the Soundwave Lego set. It's rad as fuck. Can't justify it at the moment but, man o man.

Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life. Or something.

Man, Beast of War is a great movie! Like, that put me in a good mood!

We just need a support group that picks us up when we're down but doesn't expect any other communication.

Reading that I... uh.. kinda realize isolating myself more and more is also part of the problem.

For sure. I'm very aware of the fact that I feel a little better this week and it's because I worked on my own shit.

Thank you for reading. I know this sounds worrisome but, really, I'm kinda just talking it out on here to tell others they aren't alone in feeling unimportant or untalented even when you know it's not true. Even our heroes have bad years. But they stuck it out. So, I don't know, stick it out.

BUT! I'm pushing myself. I've written 3 new shorts in the last week. Two to pitch and one for THE DARK. Oddly enough I'm feeling pretty good about them so far. I know next year could be a much better year. Or worse. But it won't be a better year if I don't get less Bummer Man and more proactive...

I used to do a lot of cons. I hardly do any now. Not really by choice as much as forgetting until it's too late. Because I'm depressed. Like NYCC. I planned on going but forgot to apply and then got depressed and didn't try anything else to go. I don't know. It's just been a tough year...

NachoManSandyCabbage @treebeerd.bsky.social · 5d

I spend most of my time being depressed and irritable (more than usual). This is why there have been such long gaps between stories for THE DARK. First I don't have time because of working on other things that pay, then I get stressed about not having work and it distracts from everything...

NachoManSandyCabbage @treebeerd.bsky.social · 5d

One problem. I have when I don't have work is how easy it is to just sit and do nothing while never being able to relax. Then I get into this headspace where I'm like "what am I even doing?". I put together a couple pitches just to ultimately talk myself into believing no one wants it...

What?! I have to bail my wife out of jail now?! Dang. I've got to send out a call to action!

I want to call these people idiots but, really, they are manipulative shit stains that perform for stupid people to gobble up.

This is such a perfect goddamned panel.

It tells you so much in one beat.

Oh, this is from Catwoman Lonely City by Cliff Chiang, if'n you didn't know.
