When you are a freelance writer (for hire) the assignments come to you. Maybe you have to go out and troll for them a little, dangle a pitch or two here and there. But once you’re in — as long as you continue to deliver quality work, on time and on budget — the work flows to you. You feel the most bereft of time and sleep.

“C.S.I. has become a national obsession,”Jane PauleyThe Jane Pauley ShowNovember 4, 2004 C.S.I. graces the airwaves three times a week, with C.S.I., C.S. I. Miami and C.S.I. NY.

Tuesday was our anniversary — my husband and I have been happily married for eight years. We were both too busy (and exhausted) to want to endure a big magilla ‘night out on the town’ dinner somewhere so we decided to order in Thai from our favorite restaurant and then go out for a luscious dessert and cappuccino.

I’m not sure of the actual number of comic titles… somewhere in the area of 40 or 50. I love the form of writing for comic. It’s lean and clean. You really have to refine your story to it’s essence and you have think in a flat, 2D way. It’s great for disclipline. I wish that I could draw as well as write. But I would never trade being a writer for being an artist. There is something about the way a written story looks on a page that just appeals to me.
