Dream Chasing


I wrote two letters today, snailmail letters on real paper, in pursuit of dreams. One was to Paul Levitz, and I'll wait until I get a response from him before I mention what that dream is. I have certain expectations regarding it... I want to know for sure before I start writing about it.

The other letter was to Paul Norris, the co-creator of Aquaman. My New Year's resolution was to get his autograph if at all possible, so that's what the letter was about. I asked if there was anything in particular he wanted in his biography on my website (coming soon) and if I could please have his autograph.

Not a lot, I know. I never got an answer from Ramona Fradon when I wrote to her. That made me hesitate this time. When I finally met Ramona, she remembered my name and apologized for never replying. But it still is a memory that doesn't leave easily. So I hope for a reply from Mr Norris. I do consider him one of my heroes. He is a great artist, he never missed a deadline.

So today I've been chasing dreams.

Song of the Day


"Duchess" by Genesis. Seems a bit like a dream chasing song, even though I don't think I want the ending from the song.
