Projects and job services--why don't they work?

Thu Jul 16, 2009, 9:20 PM
I have tried quite a bit to get my Pride High fan comic drawn, but nobody answers when I post it in the Projects section. It's frustrating because I have a distinct inability to draw and want to keep the story moving forward for my characters. However, I'm stuck where I am currently, and have been for over a year.

Also, I post on the Job Services board often as a writer, and have gotten replies before, but they've gone nowhere. The only person I completed anything for has dropped all contact with me and never paid me. Now I posted an ad and didn't get a single response.

Granted, I can understand people's reasoning for shying away from doing anything with my work. I have only one story up currently, and it's quite flawed in my opinion. Besides, commiting to drawing a full piece without being payed would take time best spent in other venues. And considering the economy, one would have to be assured of quality before they pay for anything. Even then, they might not pay.

It makes me shut out my writing process. If it is not producing results, in a time in which I am in debt, I feel I must focus on other things, and I think that is why I currently have writer's block.

Okay, it's a short rant, but it's still a rant, and so I apologize--and shamelessly ask if people might actually help me with drawing the comic, at least.

I am a writer with a BA in English from Humboldt State University. At some point, hopefully soon, I wish to become a professional writer. My other goal is to be an English teacher and, though this was once my more realistic goal, it is now less likely.

My passion at the moment lies in writing superhero comics. However, it is not the only venue from which I write. Where I show my true mettle is in prose fiction. I may even put up some of it. There are a couple requests I am working on, though soon I may make them less frequent as I start to charge through need of money.
