So the interview with the writer (Victor Santos) and artist (Agustin Graham Nakamura) went pretty well. Not my best work, but they’re interesting guys and I think we had a pretty engaging discussion about their new graphic novel.
Victor started out as a self-published comic book artist and writer, and that was a bit encouraging (although he’s been doing this gig now for decades) because maybe there’s hope for me yet… Agustin works corporate primarily and then transitioned into a full-time artist. Either way, it was a nice chat. I think it goes live next week, so I’ll see about linking it here if anyone is curious.
I also sat down with a local reporter to chat on his podcast (putting me on the other side of the mics as the guest rather than the host), and that was neat. We were talking board games, mostly as a result of my paying job as a game store specialist. It was a fun, engaging little talk, and Marshall (the reporter) and Sarah (his co-host) were a lot of fun to talk to. They invited me back to chat sci-fi writing at some future date, and that’ll be fun as well. I doubt I’m going to see much in the way of sales from it, but it was nice to be an expert in something.
Anyway, I have a lot of writing to get done before the week is finished (still have to edit and send off this novel! Gah!), so I should get back to that. Hope everyone is doing exceptionally well, as well as staying safe and healthy!
