Ignoring every
t e m p t a t i o n...
Well, I own it on DVD. What, you may ask? The Dark Knight, possibly one of the greatest comic book/graphic novel movies ever. V for Vendetta is definitely my favorite, but The Dark Knight is very close. Heath Ledger was amazing in it, so let me take this opportunity to say this: Heath Ledger, I only know you as an actor but may you rest in peace. And, speaking more on comics/graphic novels, Watchmen is going to be amazing. 3/6/09, I'm waiting for you. If there's a midnight premiere, hopefully I'll be going to it.
Of course, I'm not here to talk about what comic/graphic novel movies are coming out or are out that I like. But, since graphic novels/comics relate very so much to this entry, I thought that would be a nice opening paragraph. Of course, at this point this question might have been brought up to your mind: What is this entry about?
I'm writer at heart. If you know me well enough, you know that. Or you do now, at least. I'd love to be a better artist, but I'm not going to shun my natural talent and love of writing. I whole-heartedly embrace it. I like to think I'm a good writer. I don't have a very good attention span when it comes to staying on one story, but when I get something done I like to think that it can sit by itself and be a nice, readable piece of literary work. I plan on making a career of writing. For the past couple of years, I've wanted to be an author. You know, like J.K. Rowling. I doubt I could ever become that famous, but that's beside the point. But I realized something today, while putting The Dark Knight in my DVD player to watch it.
Maybe I'm not supposed to be an author.
I told you I don't have much an attention span when it comes to working on one story. But maybe I would if someone was pushing me along to work on one story. I know I still need to do something with writing. It's the way my mind works. A lot of the times when I'm thinking, I come up with literary narrative in my mind that would only work with a movie.
A movie, or a graphic novel.
I think I should be a graphic novel writer. I like graphic novels, reading them. I'm no artist, but there are plenty of graphic novels that have separate writers and artists. In fact, I think most do since the art in graphic novels is often quite complex. I think if someone else was working on my story with me, I'd get more done. So, that's what I'm shooting for. Someday, I'll find a good artist, strike up a deal with them, I do the writing, they do the drawing, we split the profits 50/50. I think I'd be quite happy doing that, honestly. I think its what my mind is made for. I think I could make a living off of it. So, despite it being a silly, ludicrous idea, that's what I'm aiming for.
Look for my name in lights. Maybe i'll use Dalia Salvd as a pseudonym.
Only to destroy my sanity
