rivendellrose | things that hurt me by my love for them

I really, really should never have allowed myself to get into reading comics. They're such a damned expensive hobby when you calculate the price of a graphic novel (ha - in fairness I get a good discount but stiiill) against the time it takes me to actually read said graphic novel (about half an hour if I'm lucky and read slowly and really take time to appreciate the art). I don't spend this kind of money on novels, and novels at least take me several hours to read. But nooooo, I have to get sucked into reading everything in the Hellboy universe of comics, and almost immediately after getting one load of them from

ratzeo, my supplier/pusher, I find myself trolling the series summaries on Wiki thinking "okay, so next I need x, y, and z, and I wonder if the next collection of the main series is out yet?" *Headdesk* If the world were kind I would find some more of them at Half Price Books, but I have a feeling I'm only going to get that lucky once, and it's already happened. :P

Also, my editing right now sucks. I mean, really royally. What in the name of all that's good was I thinking, writing in such a disorganized way during NaNo? I sat down this afternoon in hopes of clearing up a few things and tidying it all to send off (again) to the wonderful beta, but... god, it's such a freaking mess. And to think, I wanted to have this done before 2010...
