My life is great, but it would be too boring as a book.

Hard to choose! There is the part where you just lay and fantasize stories, tweak events and characters to get something interesting. Also, in the case of comic books, there is the part where you are getting the pages from illustrator, and see your story and your characters appear in front of you in flesh, living their lives according to your script. Well, not quite in flesh, more in ink lines and colors, but you know what I mean. And then, there is the feedback of the readers. Knowing that someone read your book and liked it, it is fantastic feeling. I'm probably forgetting 10 more things I like about being a writer.

I never experienced writer's block related to writing scripts for comics. I assume it is because writing a comic book script is more akin to scribbling ideas - you don't need to worry about the style of your descriptions, you just concentrate that you describe everything important. And even dialog lines, I tend to edit them afterwards to better fit the artists' panels, so I don't stress over them either. There are times when I'm stuck with the story-line, but usually I figure out the general outline of it, even before starting writing the script.

I'm currently working on three new episodes of Mrs.G comics. The first one that should come out in April, is #3 - "Cartel's Carnal Chemistry". The artist on that one is Patrick O'Donnell. In the following months #4 is planned - "Mrs.G Goes Wild", and then after that #5 - "Whispers Across Time".
