Come find us on Notes. It's very chill, like a lovely writing group meet-up at someone's house.
This was really helpful to read - I'm quite desperate to make my own comic but have never felt like my illustrations are good enough. Seeing the unexpectedly positive responses to some of my Inktober attempts, combined with your post here, I'm starting to think that maybe I *am* ready, and I'm just sabotaging myself...
Every artists dilemna. "You cannot fill in the vision", Annie Dillard says, "You cannot even bring the vision to light." We're fouled by our own efforts. The thing we thought we were making turns out not to be what that comes through. But, some times that the magic, that's the trick of it. That the place were it all fell down, where it collapsed, where it came apart, turns out to be the best part. The part that makes more alive. That makes it interesting. That gives it heart.
