It’s time for me to change my blogging habits to better reflect my current interests and ambitions. As of this moment I am exiting the business of commenting on current events and politics. Instead, “The Bill Myers Creations Blog!” will be solely dedicated to, perish the thought, promoting Bill Myers Creations and my upcoming self-published comic, The Victory Streak.

I have also decided to strictly limit the blogs I visit so I can redirect my time and effort to writing and drawing my comic. It’s not going to be much of a sacrifice, as I’ve gotten weary of the predictably silly sniping that characterizes so much of Internet discourse. I’m going to be updating my blogroll to reflect those blogs I’m still reading and feel good about promoting.

I hope and pray that more of my friends don’t join the blogosphere, because if they do I’ll feel obligated to read their blogs as well at that expense of, say, sleeping. That will of course drive me stark raving mad, causing me to begin going door to door in nothing but my BVDs, asking those who actually answer their doorbells if they have a monkey or a purple hammer they can spare.

Finally, I’m going to try to commit to posting a sketch every other day. That will force me to get back in the regular drawing habit and give you all the chance to weigh in with your opinions about proposed character designs and the like.

I may stray a bit into posts that are only tangentially related to my creative endeavors but for the most part I will remain quite focused. This will have the dual purpose of making blogging *fun* for me again, and motivating me to stay on course with The Victory Streak.

The next time I post, I’ll have some preliminary character designs for The Victory Streak, in “costume.” I think I’ve identified a look that’s distinctive without falling into the cliche of an outlandish spandex outfit. I look forward to your feedback.

Later!
