  • Using Different Panels for Contrast

    Continuing my class with Comics Experience we had a more of an art focused session, as a writing course you might feel that this was a bit strange.  But it was two fold, one to allow us as writers a better understanding of the terms, so we can communicate what we hope to tell with…

  • Subtext

    I tend to be a concept type of creator.  On that’s a cool idea, or concept I could make a comic about that.  But I have realized that I need to get better a character development.  I  am mid way through my Comics Experience class on “Writing the perfect one shot”. We are to write a…

  • Hot Seats

    So I am 3 month’s into my 6 month Mastermind with the great folks at Comixlaunch.  And I have been on two hot seats. I am not normally a guy who likes to be in the spotlight.  I am kind of an introverted.  But these hot seats are forcing me to be in that spotlight.…

  • Notes from the Editor

    So I submitted my script for an anthology project to the editors of the project.  And let’s just say it could have gone better. I made a huge mistake by sending not my most current draft, but an earlier version that didn’t have the story completely flushed out.  I had place holders for characters, like…

  • Finding an Editor

    I like to create and write but editing not so much.  So I have been researching and reaching out to editors.  And I think I found one!  I am starting out slow with a pitch document edit.   I am in the process of writing that pitch. I have high hopes for this one, so…

  • Stay Creative while on Vacation

    So I really didn’t have a topic when I finished my last post.  So I just came up with a topic, stay creative while on vacation. I was able to do so, thanks to my phone, tablet and laptop.  I hit all of my daily goals.  Travel days made it a bit difficult with all…

  • Interviews

    So I know I said last time I was going to talk about 24 hour comic day, but I didn’t do it. Instead, I am going to talk about interviews, and conducting interviews.  My podcast has turned out to be a good mix of general comic talk with my co-host Noah, and interviews with other…

  • Joining a Mastermind

    As sort of way to motivate myself I signed up for a mastermind.  I joined the Comixlaunch Mastermind.  I have been an activate member of the Comixlaunch group for a while.  I have taken both the Comixlaunch Pro, and the ListLaunch (more on this later). This group has been great for networking and funding my…
