I hope this link works: http://newdcboards.warnerbros.com/web/messages.jsp?topic=36470744&board=power_co

It's a great, GREAT post by Kurt on how he became a writer in comics and how if you want it to happen, you have to make your opportunities rather than follwing a set procedure and expecting to be writing JSA immediately.

If the above link does't work, go to the Power Company board on the DCMB's and look for the "Hey Kurt!" post by Superby1. Kurt's post is so cool I had to tell people.

Post your thoughts here if you check it out. But be sure to tell Kurt what you thought as well.

Which to me just suggests that working in comics is the worse career move anyone could make.

Busiek only got there by being persistent and lucky. Having to work at Burger King to help fulfil a dream of writing comics sounds sucky to me.

Yeah, but Busiek doesn't have any sex appeal either...

But he has a career now, not a job. There's a difference. There's something to be said about being paid to do something you enjoy.

Sure, but it sounds on par with winning the lottery.
