Writing Encouragement: Give yourself time to RESEARCH. Research has improved my ability to plot, outline, and world-build. Research has given me confidence in my story decisions. Writing is more than 'just do it.' Research grounds our stories in reality, helping us connect with 'real' readers.

I'm learning that writing is all about showing up: Open that Word document. Sit in that chair. Put on that music with all the vibes (Currently, Thundercat's new album). Creativity feels like turning the knob and letting whatever wants to flow, well, flow.

I just backed Scattered Futures: three short sci-fi comics (32 pages) from @bencranewrites.com on @kickstarter.com! Only 7 hours left to back! These stories look amazing. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ben...

As always, write what only YOU can write. The world needs YOUR voice. Lead with vulnerability. Now is not the time to clamp up. Now is the time to be raw with the safest thing you know: stories. --Notes to self.

Life discovery: Playing guitar makes me a better writer. Creativity in one area bleeds into the other. Neurons that fire together, wire together.

If you laugh at my misfortune, maybe celebrate my accomplishments and order my graphic novel out 4/21 - papercutz.com/product/penn...

One of the rewards you can get is an editorial session with me at a HUGE discount (~75%) off my usual rates. This includes a physical book, so I had limited it to US backers. I had an international supporter ask, so I added a new tier, which is an editorial session with a PDF copy, open worldwide!

What a fantastic article from @comicuno.bsky.social! "Integrate yourself into the Kickstarter community. Kickstarter isn't just a "platform to make money, it's a community just like the comic book industry itself." Check out the article below!

Life's slowed down a little, so you know what that means... More time for research and world-building! I'm so excited for my next comic. It's been a joy to take time to let myself research and explore!

Continuing to beat the drum. 🥁 If you want more diverse voices present in the comics medium, you gotta buy it. Bonus, this is actually a really damn good book.

I'm SO EXCITED for Daredevil: Born Again Season Two! First episode is tonight!

Love to see comics that explore our journey through grief. Shrub speaks to my heart. Check it out!

Project Hail Mary was Amaze, Amaze, Amaze. Heartfelt, funny, and emotionally compelling. I highly recommend checking this film out in theatres. PHM is a reminder that kindness and friendship can save the world.

Bought a new guitar!

Be thou spirit of health or goblin damned? I thought this was a pretty clever piece of marketing. If you agree, give us a sub. 🙏

I'm struggling to find hope in this world, so I volunteered at my local SPCA. In these dark times, I encourage you to gravitate towards hope and joy in everything you do. I fear this world will swallow up hopefull people and spit them out. I'm trying to stop that from happening to me.

Every time I read the news:

After a very stressful day, I finally get to write comics.

I just picked up SYSTEMIC from @artebuen.bsky.social. Sci-fi anthologies like this inspire me as a comic writer.

Over at @literaryhub.bsky.social, I wrote about Nicholas Mosley's decades-long project of reckoning with his father's Fascism. lithub.com/anti-fascist...

If you want to go straight to our tagged comics resources on Palestine and the genocide in Gaza you can do so directly from this link. www.brokenfrontier.com/tag/palestin... #FreePalestine Please repost. This is such important work.

I had the pleasure of reading one of SCATTERD FUTURES' stories. It gripped me instantly with its compelling world-building, relatable characters, and satisfying emotional arc. It's challenging to write short comics, but @bencranewrites.com is an expert at it.

The deluxe edition of the Eisner and Harvey-nominated series, RIPPLE EFFECTS, is available on @hoopladigital.bsky.social and @comicsplus.bsky.social! Fanbase Press' Graphic Medicine series explores life as a superhero with an Invisible Illness. lpfullcontent.librarypass.com/product/fanb...
