Hey Reader, May you spare a recommendation? What's something you've loved recently that's been on your mind? Was it a book, video game, movie? Or something more unique like a place, meal or event? Was it old or was it something brand new? Regardless of what it is, send it to me - I need more recommendations to digest on my free time. Something I just realized after taking in so much media is how little I have a list of my own to thoroughly enjoy. As for my own recommendations, For anyone...

Hey Reader, Today is Labor Day. I've cracked a Corona, took in some of the leftover summer heat from this Florida summer, and re-tidied portions of the house after taking care of a 1-year-old tycoon. (He was actually a gem) I've had some interesting changes to my life that's left me in a lot of self-reflection. Change is, and will always be, weird even though it's an essential component in life. Who you are now is not the same as who you were 5 minutes ago. This can be from something as...

drawings(Probably, but I'm too melodramatic to say otherwise) Hey Reader, Can you believe it? I haven't spoken to you since last year. No, but really. I didn't even get to send my love for Halloween, Thanksgiving, the holidays, and the New Year. But it was with good reason. It's all because of this: the wedding finally happened. For context, Mrs. Vahl and I have been married for the past 5 years (and some change) now. But we never got to have the ceremony where we celebrated with all of our...

It's short recap time. Hey Reader, It's been over a month since I re-announced Mad City to the bubble. Over that month, reconnecting, rebuilding, and re-learning have been gradual in small, tiny increments. It's been a process. I'd like to think I'm in between two places. The one half is submerged in a pool where the community resides. The other half is out on dry land, applying sunblock before fully diving in. And the reason for that is that dry-land-half is in the rewrite phase. Still. (No,...

Hey Reader, How are things going on your end? Last email, I mentioned about buying a whiteboard that's now hanging in my office. The whiteboard has been a HUGE help in me keeping track of my progress and playing catch-up. I''ve been able to draft some cover concepts for two projects, while getting back into drafting Mad Virus. Thank you to those who reached out to me and expressed kind words on my mental well-being. You know who you are, and I appreciate you greatly. In the meantime, I bought...
