Most creative careers don't happen overnight. They happen slowly — over years, sometimes decades — between kids, jobs, and a thousand detours you didn't plan for. I've been a working writer for over 15 years, but the journey started almost 30 years ago. This is the first episode of The Long Road: a vlog about staying in the creative life. Not breaking in. Not blowing up. Staying in.

I've written The Flash, Batman, and Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong at DC Comics. I've published creator-owned series with Image, Mad Cave and other publishers. I've optioned scripts, been in writer's rooms, and had films produced. I've also been rejected more times than I can count. This isn't a success story. It's a record of someone still in the middle of it — with three young kids and a newborn — still chasing the work that matters.

If you're early in your creative life and need proof that staying in is possible — this is for you. If you're mid-career and need to feel less alone in the grind — this is for you too.
