We Got a Used Car

Welp. We’ve been dealing with the aftermath of our car being destroyed for over a week now. It’s been emotionally draining and physically exhausting. I never really knew how much a vehicle would mean to me, until now. The whole situation has been frustrating with the lack of resolution and accountability. Our lienholder has been dicking us around, so the car is STILL on the lawn. A constant reminder that we’ve had our lives violated. It sucks.

The good news, however, is that our Gofundme was very successful and the funds helped us to buy a used car. It’s a 2010 Dodge Journey with a lot of miles and some things that need fixing, but she runs. Which is all we can ask at this point. Thank you to all who helped us get up and running so fast.

In comics news, I managed to squeeze out a 6-page script for an anthology in the midst of dealing with this chaos. I’m happy I was able to get it together enough to do so. This is the first anthology I’ve submitted to that asks for the script to be written first. Usually, I’ve only had submission guidelines that ask for the pitch. It’s been an interesting experience. I’m teaming up with my good friend Harrison Webb again for this one. The anthology is horror based and I LOVE Harrison’s creepy artwork. It is PERFECT for this story. Fingers crossed we get accepted. It’s been a while since I’ve submitted to an anthology. Life has been crazy, but maybe I start making anthologies a priority again. Let me know in the comments if y’all have any recommendations!

    That sounds like a whirlwind of emotions, but I’m glad things are looking up with the new car! It’s crazy how much a car can mean to us, especially when it’s taken away unexpectedly. The whole situation with the lienholder sounds like a nightmare—why is it so hard for people to just do their jobs? It’s inspiring to see the community rally behind you through the GoFundMe, though. What’s the first thing you’re going to fix on the Dodge Journey? And hey, do you think Pepper the demon cat had anything to do with the chaos? Just kidding… maybe. Anyway, how’s Valentine holding up through all this?
