I consider myself an introvert. Honestly, I’m pretty damn sure I’m an introvert. On the other hand, I guess I’ve gotten to the point I fake being social pretty well. If you don’t mind the somewhat scratchy audio, I give you Exhibit A, recorded at the Long Beach Comic and Horror Con this past weekend:
That is nearly seven minutes of me jabbering, with the interviewer only occasionally chiming in. Dawn had to bow out partway to make a sale, and while she might be the first to claim that I would have done all the talking anyways, sometimes you can just run out of things to say and it’s good to have a partner there to pick up the slack. A different interview we did the day before was proof of that to me, although we don’t have the audio for that one. You’ll just have to trust me. (EDIT: I have spoken too soon. Instead of trusting me, go listen to our interview with Indie Comics Tracker. We’re about five minutes in. LINK )
Speaking of not having the audio, I also partnered up with my friend Justin Robinson for a panel. It went well, and another of our friends recorded it and plans to have it ready by around noon on Wednesday. That means it won’t be ready when this blog goes live, but once it’s ready I’ll edit things to add in a link. It was on using your fears to create fiction and some of you might find it interesting. (EDIT: The audio is up, check out your listening options here: LINK )
Anyhow, I watched all the way through that interview video and I was surprised and pleased to determine that I didn’t find it embarrassing. That guy looked like he knew what he was doing in terms of promoting a project and being in front of a camera for several minutes, and that guy was me.
At the end of it all, though, I’m exhausted, which is where that introversion comes in. So forgive me if I let this be the extent of my blog for this week. I’m all talked out.
