When you are a responsible adult, who definitely didn't forget today was a holiday meaning shops closed, so you have to go get a Döner but get a pizza instead because Döner shop closed, too, and on your way back your neighbour gives you cake and cookies.

Credit your artists, credit your writers, credit your QA, just credit everyone who contributed to the work even if their part didn't end up in the final version. They all paved the way to the final version and a credit is the least you can do!

the only non-negotiable for writing is you have to read. doesn't matter if you're writing comics, prose, screenplays. read. read books, articles, scripts, comics. fiction and non-fiction. read lots of 'em and never stop reading.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

A joyful black cat skips in the opposite direction of a sign pointing “THIS WAY,” beneath the message, “You don’t have to be sorry for not being who people expected you to become.” The scene is set against soft, colourful rolling hills and a dreamy purple-blue sky.

If you hate one creative process, try a new one. If you don't want to study all the time, don't. If you want to draw what you want, do it. If the way everyone else is doing it doesn't light you up, then take a different path. Don't forget you're the creator. You make the rules.
