Jericho: Excitement

At one point, Max nailed my personality dead on. He said "There is no project like the new project you haven't started yet." He was trying to get me to work on something I wasn't too hip about at the time by giving me crap about the other projects I wanted to do. As per usual, Max was right, the fire I felt about those projects, I forget what they were, faded and I got nothing out of them.

But, the project I'm working on now has caught my attention and has lit a fire under my imagination. I'm pretty excited about it. It will never make me rich and I'll probably get sued over it, but it's just such a fun idea. I hope I can keep my enthusiasm long enough to see it to fruition.

I'll give you all some hints. It's going to be a web comic strip. I'm not sure if I'm going to buy my own domain or use Keenspace. I won't be drawing it - I'm going to use photos. So far, I have 15 story boards, and they are all cute at minimum, with a knee slapper here and there. I want to pull together sixty or so finished strips, which works out to two months of daily content, before I post anything. So, I'm in this for the long haul before it will ever get posted. This might not be up before the end of the year.

I've thought about doing a strip for IWDC for quite a while - and I'm still considering adding the strip to this site. The problem is that I have wanted to do a strip for IWDC that fits IWDC. This strip I have in mind does not fit. I haven't been able to conceive of a strip that would fit IWDC without simply doing strips of previous posts and trying to weld that into a story line. I think that would stink. A political cartoon might work, but I also fear diluting the site. IWDC has a certain purity to it that I want to preserve. I dunno.

Anyway, I'm very excited and I can't wait to announce that I have finished here on the site. Cross your fingers for me.
