I think I could sum it up by a wish that I expressed the other day when I was leaving Rachael in Maine: “I wish that everyone I love would be in one place with me.” I’d add to that, “I wish I could keep drawing comics forever.” As in, not have to take some crappy temp job when my graphic novel doesn’t leave me rolling in dough. I can’t complain, though, I really can’t. I’ve had an entire year to do what I love, no strings attached, and I am so thankful for that. And I’m thankful to have friends and family who will still listen to me when I get in a funk, even if they aren’t all in the same time zone. But plenty are, and I just gotta keep looking to the blessings. And even if comics are just a hobby, they’re a dang great hobby.

Wow, you’ve gotten a whole year to do what you love. That is so awesomely amazing. I am sorry to hear that it is drawing to a close, though.
Look on the bright side. That ‘crappy temp job’ just might turn into something worthwhile…given a little time and positive attitude. AND, if it doesn’t become something cool, its only temporary.
I don’t think I know Cathryn but I think she’s right on. Somehow I think you’ll find a way to keep life interesting, Breena. God didn’t put all that creative spirit in you for no reason…He’s got plans. Think of all the neat people He’s crossed your path with in this past sabatical year given to your art. (By the way…your family really misses you too!)
it’ll be ok, buddy
i love you!!
