Lately I’ve been thinking about what it truly means to be weird. In childhood, anyone who’s branded “the weird kid” is essentially a social outcast.

Over the summer, I signed up for Comic Book Writing with Ron Marz, a brand new class offered by Jacob Krueger Studio. Earlier this year, they began offering free Quarantini classes, where writers get together virtually each week and do writing exercises led by Jake and various special guests.
