I did not know what to expect from New York Comic Con, particularly not when I was offered the opportunity to attend as a guest, to meet 'fans', to sign things for them and talk to them, but I can honestly say that I'm grateful that I did it.
There are a lot of people out there whose lives we've touched. I could say that in the sense of my crew on the
Ghost and it would be true, but it would be true I think for many of us in the tower. And it is awkward perhaps to think that it is your life that they have shared without your permission - exactly - but perhaps heartening to know that they have related to your struggles and found strength from them. Not everyone of course, but some.
And I think my favourite moment was when a little girl told me she wanted a ship like mine when she grew up. I suspect that dream will be a long time coming, but she has good taste.
[Ghost Crew]This weekend, we're going to all go swimming. So, just be ready for that.
