Do Wits Really Have an End?

If they do, well, shit, I think I have found them. I mean come on, I have six books ready to publish and not a single fucking cover for any of them. It’s certainly not for the lack of trying. To date, I have attempted to get covers from three different artists. As I stated above, still no fucking covers. I have no hair, so pulling out all my hair is not an option. Damn.

I am a subscriber to unique talent named Nicole Arbor, a young, pretty Canadian comedic genius who is currently on a rant about how everyone can be successful – all they have to do is try; learn if you don’t know how, make the attempt, over and over and you can succeed. I believe that is true, but …

Okay, I’d be happy to do my own covers and believe me, I have tried and learn, and train, and try again, I am miserable as an artist. Sorry, Nicole, I can train my little pea brains out and still not be able to create a fucking piece of art worth being seen, by you, by humanity, by the fucking cat. Christ!

I know I am poor so I can’t offer too much to any artist willing to give my covers a shot. I know this and I understand the reluctance of some artsy types to make the attempt.

The problem is that I remember being young and dumb and eager to be a success and back then, I would sign up to do anything, for anyone who would give me the chance. Sure I was busy. I had a couple of kids, worked sometimes up to three jobs in order to pay the bills, but if someone offered me a chance, fuck it; I’ll sleep next year. I’d go for it every time.

And, yet, here I sit at the end of Wit’s road – at the very end. Fuck. Can I make a deal with the devil for some fucking art skills, please? Shit.

The sad thing is, that I have been told by all but a couple of my Alpha readers that I have some great stories – these literary comic books; two different series so far – The Collarbones Saga and The Panther Adventures. Still to come are The Brayson Cox Mysteries and The Rainbow Warrior Sagas, and probably more. I mean I can crank out a literary comic in about 30-35 days once the plot is developed and the writing begins …

Now if I could only find an artist to hop on board and keep pace. If I ever do, I’m willing to partner with them in any and all success … IF!!! By ALL, I mean ALL – books, movies, TV, Video Games, what-the-hell-else-ever comes along – they illustrate, create my covers, they’re in and entitled to a share of all potential revenues … sigh, I guess that kind of opportunistic, go-get ’em mindset is no longer an option …
