Shy Animator Writes Press Release!

This is me trying to write a press release. I am in hell. Here's the first line:

"MONTREAL (insert date), 2013 – TV creator/director JC Little introduces PickleWeasel..."

Yawn. That's pretty damn boring JC. Spice it up and don't forget to plug yourself.

"Established animation director, cartoon gangsta and social media sensation JC Little brings her humor and creative talents to a new audience with the launch of her comic & drawing app - "

Too long, didn't read.

"Creative genius launches - "

Wait what? No, no, no you can't call yourself a genius, it's tacky and egotistical. Everyone will hate you.

"Animation industry veteran - "

Seriously? How old are you?

"Animation industry survivor - "

Too negative. 

"Animation industry fossil - "

Funny... but still too negative.

"Animation industry stalwart and cartoon blogger JC Little introduces PickleWeasel, a comic and drawing app, now available for iPad on the App Store."

What the hell is a "stalwart"? Meh. It's still not right - you actually suck at this. 

Let's have a look at the headline now. A good headline will catch the media's eye so they'll want to do a story on the app. Your app is unique - but you're not allowed to use the word 'unique'. Don't forget you hafta make it all SEO magical too - ram those keywords in there!  

"Animated series creator JC Little launches comic and drawing app "PickleWeasel" available for iPad on the App Store."

"TV series director kicks the iPad's ass with mojo-vational PickleWeasel app! Available for iPad on the App Store."

"PickleWeasel abandons blog post to go mobile - Comic & drawing app available for iPad on the App Store."

"Suspicious green cartoon escapes animator's blog! "PickleWeasel" available for iPad on the App Store."

"Audacious toon stars in mojo-boosting app "PickleWeasel"

"Mysterious brine found leaking out of the App Store! "

"PickleWeasel claims responsibility for sudden App Store crunch!"

"Vinegar Aroma baffles Apple!"

"The only app with a PickleWeasel in it!"

"Fossilized animator launches hybrid cartoon character into the mobile world!"

 "Star-crossed PickleWeasel set free by Insane Creative Genius!"

"PickleWeasel : There can be ONLY ONE."

...eh bugger it. Just do a drawing.

Hyper-creative human makes a PickleWeasel app for fun and scribbles on the iPad.

MOJO-vember.

Maximum respect to everyone refraining from shaving for a whole 30 days. And to all those putting up with a spouse with a stiff upper lip - I salute you!

If you're part pickle / part weasel, you don't need to grow a mustache for Movember cuz HELLO WHISKERS.

Whether you're a man or a woman*, you can use your mustache growing mojo to raise raise vital funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostate cancer and male mental health initiatives.  Yeah, shit happens to men, just like everyone. So...learn about it, talk about it and definitely donate to support someone growing a 'stache for Movember.
*Women have mustaches too. I have a small one. I never shave it though.

I love autumn...don't you?

Getting back to school.

I asked the 12 year old boy for a back-to-school quote. All he would say is:

"It sucks to go back. Period."

But I know that secretly he's loving the math.

Never let your schooling get in the way of your education, that's what I always say.

#PickleWeasel poses for #TheTutuProject.

This awesome dude named Bob Carey does self portraits wearing a tutu in the unlikeliest of locations. He's made a lot of people smile, including his wife Linda, who has breast cancer. It's called The Tutu Project.

He's raising funds and awareness and others are invited to post images to Twitter hashtagging #TheTutuProject. A perfect fit for Pickle Weasel, no? The image driven stream is inspiring and it's easy to view in SeeSaw.

Spread the word!
