It's been eight months since I last posted on this blog. Where did the time go? I'm still doing what I do...writing every day, sending out gags to my people, reading a lot. We're venturing out more. Dining outdoors wherever possible. Going into more stores than we used to. Getting together with a few more friends than we used to. This pandemic has really made it very clear that I need to be with people.
It's also made it very clear that there's a lot of funny things that have happened to me in my life that I need to write about. Also a lot that's not so funny. I seem to have a skewed way of looking at things and I tend to see the humor in situations. All I have to do is look at myself and the funny things that have happened to me and write about them. Also the aggravating and frustrating things. I'm my own best subject.
Of course I'm always looking for new cartoonists to collaborate with. I would like to work with a cartoonist and come up with a series of cartoons on a particular subject, to be published as a book.
I've started submitting stories to the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series of books, focusing on the humor in my life. I'm looking into submitting material to other anthologies as well.
The pandemic has limited the networking opportunities. It's an understatement to say that I appreciate getting together with people now more than ever.
Things will get better. Stay healthy!
