It’s Good to See You Again
It’s been awhile again hasn’t it? Admittedly February didn’t go as planned and I didn’t get quite as many reviews completed as I wanted to, but it’s time to push onward. I have a day job and the demands of the workplace has been great for the past week or so. We now have “mandatory overtime” (what an oxymoron!) and it’s been cutting into my time to read, review, and of course impart all of my acquired wisdom on my adoring audience (lol). I’d like to start by showcasing a blog on fiction scribe, which is one of my favorites. This post should be required reading not just for new or novice authors, but seasoned veterans of the written word as well. Check out http://www.fictionscribe.com/pet-peeve-52-elitist-poets/
So how do do comic book writers pinpoint their audience? I think the great thing about comics, especially today’s comics which often transcend medium and genre, is the audience can never be isolated to one group. Today comic fans range in age, income, race, and class. Also, iconic heros tend to break down these barriers, we’ll take Superman or Batman, everyone knows these heros worldwide. If you ask a writer of any of these titles who he is writing for the response would have to be, “everyone.” Just some food for thought. Know your audience and more importantly, know thyself. So I’m glad to see you again and we’ll make it through March together.
