So that's the reason I couldn't find it when I wanted to write a rant yesterday!
Oh well, here it is now:
(I really don't want to sound unprofessional, but I really need to get this out of my chest)
A publisher contacted me and asking me about how things went with a comic I pitched (mind you, 2 years ago).
So, naturally, I replied that I haven't been working on it because I didn't hear anything from them after I asked for a longer deadline.
And oh. my. god. their reply. Holy shit.
They first went on to guilt trip me about sooooo many artists dropping their projects (with that attitude, I completely understand) and then proceeded to tell me that even tho it wasn't going to get published I should've worked on it no matter what, because I wanted to.
Like, dude.
I've been swamped with things to do that has taken much more energy than I expected. Such as, weddings, my nephew being born and me hitting a wall because of stress.
And like, when I heard NOTHING from them, I assumed my request for a longer deadline was a no-no so I didn't work on it as I felt unmotivated of doing so.
And when he asked me to get done before March next year, I said: Sure, I can do 40 pages more till then, shouldn't be a problem.
He's like: How?
Uhm. Ok, I'm going down to half time, so there's your answer (plus I've found a way to speed up my process a bit more).
I'm still not sure whether or not to reply back to him or not, I really don't want to get into an argument about who's right or not.
I don't even care about getting this book published anyway, especially not with his attitude (but a part of me thinks that I should try to get this done either way, because well... Once you're published, people take you a bit more seriously and it could eventually lead to more work!)
As you can see, I'm a bit 50/50 about it, I still like the comic idea (but I barely have any material to continue it) and I'm also not in the mood of handling a grumpy old man.
Edit: Oh yeah!
Apparently he wanted me to contact them when I had more material 8D
I mean, when I heard nothing from him, how should I know I should contact him AGAIN?
Sure, that's probably how it works in the publishing industry, but I'm very new to all this so I had no idea D:
