It came to me in a sudden flash of inspiration. It came to me in a most unexpected burst of enlightenment.
...It is: The story I am meant to write. The story I absolutely must hire you to draw.
...Someday, Matt. Someday. Someday.

I'll concede that I'm disappointed to hear about HIKYM...the insanely high quality of the art was my favorite thing about the comic. Don't get me wrong, Clevinger's a talented writer and all, but it was a testament to your artistic ability that I felt you actually overshadowed him in HIKYM...and so any decrease in artistic quality will be a day to rue.

...Though don't get me wrong: I understand where you're coming from. Money's been tight on my end, too, but I should still find enough money to pay for a couple more commissions in the fall. That'll always be priority number one for me. Well, that and becoming a rich fancy lawyer and then paying you big bucks to draw tomboy comics for me.

It's been a kind of.. "eye opening" week? I had a virus again that knocked my comp out of commission so it took me awhile to get it back up and running. Now I'm only using my laptop to get online, and it doesn't have any IM programs on it (though I'm going to get Trillian and AIM and YIM and MSN again, I just haven't gotten around to it yet). During the time spent away from the comp I had one of those "talks" with the folks and I'm probably going to go look for some part-time work somewhere so I can get some extra money coming in the door. HIKYM will still go on, but the art won't be the same (just line work from now on, I don't have the time or energy to work so hard on stuff I don't get paid that much for anymore :P ). Also while the computer was down I got to messing with my room again and have a lot of stuff piled up in stacks all over the floor I'm sorting through, and it's keeping me occupied! I should be on again soon though, don't worry (probably in a day or so).

I miss HIKYM almost as much as I miss seeing you on AIM. =(
