Another article particle on the CCN message board

I've posted part two of the "Getting Established" article on the Comics Creators Network message board. Hopefully this link will get you there. 

This portion covers how my networking and my wife's birthday sacrifice led to my first professional comics writing gig. 

My previous writing had including news articles for Comics Buyer's Guide, some fanzine features for Mark Waid at Four Color Weekly, and even a short stint working with Jim Steranko as Associate Editor on Prevue magazine, but writing my first real-life, professional, getting paid funny books was a big, big deal to me.
