My new column: MAKING GOOD

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

I’m writing a new column for the recently revamped and re-launched comic writers’ resource website Scryptic Studios.

The column is called Making Good, and is about making good on your vision to be a writer, on making good comics, and on making a good life for yourself while you’re at it. It’s an interview-based column that will be covering some of the more practical aspects of being a writer, such as dayjobs, time management, family and collaboration.

There is also a column-within-a-column called Ground Floor, in which I will be creating a brand new comic, from scratch to publication, right before your very eyes. Mistakes and all. This week I need your feedback for Ground Floor, so be sure to read the column then vote in the poll that’s been set up. See you there!
