And not a moment too soon.
This hasn’t been a banner year, has it? There hasn’t been much to celebrate in world or national news. Artistically there have been a few high points — Blackest Night, Star Trek, Up, and 7th Son: Descent come to mind. Despite a couple of lousy weeks here at the end of the year, my Saints have had the best season in franchise history. And personally, Erin is wonderful, I’ve finished all my classwork to finish my teaching certification, and I’ve launched a new podcast that I hope you’re enjoying.
And I’ve got a couple of other, unannounced projects in the works. While both of them have made progress during the year, that progress has been incremental.
2010? I’m hoping for much more progress on those projects. I’m hoping that other, new opportunities will present themselves. I’m hoping that things improve for this country, but it’ll be a long-fought battle to turn those problems around.
But no matter what else is happening or what else is going on, I hope you have a great — SAFE — time tonight wherever you choose to ring in the new year, and I hope that your 2010 is wonderful. Happy New Year, everybody!
I am absolutely humbled by your kind words, sir. Thank you … and have an awesome 2010.
No thanks needed, J.C. I just call ‘em like I see ‘em, and I try to give a little word of mouth to books and creators that deserve it.
Here’s hoping your 2010 kicks your 2009′s ass!
