Got Some Writing Done!

This is going to be my first published story since college, and I'm pretty psyched. It was a writing contest put on by my employer and local comic book store, Jumpgate. It's a story based on a piece of work by the very talented Justin Spearman. It was a bit of a challenge for me, but I enjoyed the finished result. I wrote another script and sent it off to the powers that be at Jumpgate Comics. I'm hoping it'll go somewhere. :) Keep a good thought for me. James.

My Manifesto

James's Manifesto Warning! James Marston is kinda an idiot. He is occasionally guilty of nietivity in the face of reality, idealism, and youth. He's an optimist. If you read this and you like it, cool. If not, sorry to have wasted your time. Look around you. This is all there is. What are you going to do with it? Smile more. Be humble. Earth knows, heaven knows, and those who know, know. Look out for your brothers, adopted or otherwise. Be a Good Guy. Anyone can be a Bad Guy. I'm going to be head over heels in love with my children. I'm going to take them on vacation with me. Spending time with them will be a pleasure, not a chore. I have many faults. But I'm trying.

My Attempt

Hey, I'm James, and this is my attempt at maintaining a semi-daily journal. I'm an aspiring writer, a sci-fi junkie, a comic book fiend, and a teaching assistant for children with learning disabilities and emotional handicaps. I'm married, underpaid, over-imaginative, often slothful, and occasionally brilliant. My goal here is to keep myself writing, even when I've got nothing to write about. And, having a "captive audience" of probably zero, but possibly some, should help to keep me motivated. I hope. Anyway, this is my attempt at being active. Wish me luck. James.
