NY Comic Con’09

 

I was blessed to be able to attend the NY Comic Con ‘09 convention at the Jacob Javits Center, this past weekend February 6-8.  It was an awesome time, with attendence in the thousands.

My primary reason for attending was to seek out artists and illustrators to work with me on my new book, SpeedSuit Powers.  My secondary reason was because I love comic books.  The outcome of the weekend proved to be extremely beneficial (despite my being physically exhausted from walking around for three days); providing contacts with artists, illustrators, writers, novelists and a noteable television personality.  I even hired artist/illustrator Shawn Alleyne to drawn his version of the main character from my novel, based on my concept drawings.  They came out great!

The Greatest Mistake

“The greatest mistake a person can make is to do nothing because he could only do a little.”
-Reallionaire, by Farrah Gray

POWERFUL WORDS

This quote has begun to help revolutionize my thinking.  Throughout my life there have been many situations where I have done nothing because I could only do a little.  Have you ever been in situations like this?  Have you ever felt like you could only do a little - and that the little you could do wouldn’t matter much - so you did nothing?
