The comic people got back to me and told me that after long, hard, difficult and considered deliberation, the project has gone to a different writer. Finally I can fully commit myself to the other projects in my life that need doing without worrying that they’re going to get derailed by a white elephant of a writing project looming over my shoulder. I have literally never been so glad to be turned down for anything in my life.

The payment I received from them for my preliminary proposal paid for a recent trip to my best friend’s wedding in Calgary. Thank you very much.

Now, then: next.
