False Profits by Nick LeBlanc
DP003: False Profits, a collection of short works, poetry, essays, and a script for a graphic novel.
Author's Note: As I wrote the short pieces that became my first now out-of-print release, dinosauriaRIDICULA, I found myself wanting to write something longer. These longer things became essays, almost 50 of them. They were unedited and written in a conversational style. After collecting them and giving them a once over, I decided that these would be my second official release. Though, the essays weren’t long enough to alone constitute a book, so I began stretching my shorter poems and pieces into longer short stories, and I even took a long-gestating idea for a graphic novel about a guy getting high and doing his laundry and committed it to script form. I compiled all of these pieces and released them as False Profits, a title taken from a short story in the collection. This was a cathartic book to write and compile, and I credit it with being the thing that proved to me that I was capable of committing to long-form writing.
