Disappoint*
Comic Con was so spectacular. I had so much fun and I was so sad when I had to leave on Sunday because I knew I wasn’t going to be going back until 2013. I’m not going to repost all of the pictures I took, but here is a link to the blog that I let my family read.

I didn’t really elaborate too much on some of the most important things to me. I just stated that I had tons of fun and it was really inspiring, which it was, but I didn’t really go into detail about just how inspiring it actually was. I don’t like gushing to my family for some reason. Most of them just aren’t the kind of people who can really appreciate how completely happy I was, being able to experience everything I did. They aren’t geeks, and most of them don’t understand the great things that are the popular arts.
Hearing the authors talk about their books, and their processes of writing, and how sometimes writing really does feel like work, and how most of them had to write several books before they ever got published, I don’t know why but it was so good to know that these successful people struggled with it just as much as I ever have. It was so inspiring that there were times I had to force myself to think about other things so my eyes wouldn’t get all watery.
It really made me feel like my writing isn’t as much of a hopeless cause as I thought. I just have to knuckle down and do it. I don’t have the discipline, that’s my only problem.
I’ve decided that I need a good laptop. I am pretty sure I’ve decided this before, but I’m now more determined than ever. I don’t like not having a way to write when I’m away from home. I can take a note book with me, but I can’t add to the actual stories that way. It’s only good for jotting down notes and things.
It was just the best experience. I can’t believe it took me so long to really make a go of Comic Con. I love the panels!
* I have also been introduced to WikiSpaces! 😀 Best idea ever! I’ve already started adding entries about my story and I’m already more organized now than I ever have been in the past! I don’t know why I didn’t think of a personal wiki before now!
