That Moment I Realized I’m A Comic Book Author

I’ve always hated the spotlight. I don’t enjoy being the center of attention. I know some thrive on it, but not me. I much prefer being behind the scenes where it’s safe. I’m rarely on social media.

I decided to move completely away from the dark, shadowy, semi realistic designs that I was working with previously, and made an about turn and am now going with comic book style, […]
