Childhood and Coming Full Circle

I went to the Long Beach Comic Expo on Saturday and cosplayed as Bruce Lee from Game of Death wearing a yellow track suit. I got some good pictures, and I had fun overall. It’s nice going to an event like that, and despite being in my mid-thirties, it’s not seen as childish at my age to go to an event like that these days. Families are now going to these events with people my age growing up with similar interests and getting their kids into those same interests.

I have hope that The Mustard Prince can be something like that for people. I’d like for a kid to read The Mustard Prince, have good memories of the characters from that book, and grow up still having a fondness for it. I actually feel that way about Puss-N-Boots, which is the book that pretty much taught me how to read. 

I find the journey of becoming an author as something that comes full circle, in a sense. I used to read and/or watch stories unfold through various media (tv shows, anime, video games, books, manga, etc.) when I was younger, and still do but just not as much, but now, I am going that next step as an adult and writing stories for others to enjoy.
