Don’t feel like you need to be in an arms race with your friends who are also in the same creative field
The fear of seeming like you’re falling behind is a real but shallow emotion. Your time will come when it comes, & trying to rush it will lead to mistakes that will cost you

Being an indie comics creator with no name is like being a SoundCloud rapper.
You’re always busting ass trying to get people to check your stuff out yet it feels like no one wants to.
But you know it only takes that one person to see it and give you a shot, so you keep at it.

Just because you didn’t “make it big” by the time you could drink legally doesn’t mean you’re a failure.
That’s ageist thinking.

I love Midtown Comics so much. I’ve been climbing up those stairs and buying books for nearly my entire life.
Not many places in my life have the comforts of home, but I’ve always enjoyed the twinges of nostalgia from this shop.

I have stopped writing everything cold turkey as I undergo mental health treatment.
I scrapped every project that was not already completed on my end, and don't know if I will resume since method writing as a way to cope made everything worse in my head.

I walked into a comic shop I’ve never been to before on Ventura to pick up the Hellfire Gala. I introduced myself to the owner and said I was a writer (nerve wracking)
He knew exactly what Killchella was and spoke about ordering it for customers.

I am proud to say I helped an employee at my comic shop book his first ever published comic gig!
He told me a few months ago he was looking to get into comics but wasn’t sure where to start, so I kept my ear to the ground for opportunities he’d be right for and we landed one!

Comics is a team sport. If one part fails, the whole thing fails.
Communication and honesty with one another is key, especially once publishing contracts get involved.
Failures and successes reflect on everyone involved.

If you’re an X-Men fan and you’re vocally (or silently) against the peaceful protests we’re seeing outside right now in real life, then just know that’s like reading the books and rooting for William Stryker & the Sentinels.

This is how I format my comic scripts. Not everyone does it like this, but I do. Is it wrong? Perhaps. Is it right? Perhaps.

Comics is a lonely business sometimes, so it's easy to feel dejected when your creative output begins to slow.
It's important to reach out to peers and friends from time to time and just talk. Having that human connection could boost your mood and hopefully turn things around.

Everything I’ve done in comics has been building up to something.
