The key to keep in mind is this: if you think it’s important enough—and you can’t see a better path—then you need to put yourself out there again. And again. And again.

People spend too much time on the last 24 hours and not enough time on the last 6,000 years.

Public performance eats art.
True.
Fame doesn’t rub off.
Also True.
Fame doesn’t always pay the bills.
Too True.
This industry doesn’t owe you a living, and it doesn’t pay you to dwell on the past.
Very True.
Most of the people in this industry are garage bands wondering why they’re not the Rolling Stones.
So Very Very True.
Don’t get into comics to get rich. Don’t get into comics for fame. Don’t get into comics for any reason except to make comics.
Fame and money are never a guarantee in the arts, no matter who you are or what you create.
Making your comic is about the truth of your love for the art.
Not about fame. Not about money.
If the audience comes, then yay.
If the audience doesn’t come, you made a comic.
And that’s the hard truth that makes you stronger.

‘The objection to fairy stories is that they tell children there are dragons. But children have always known there are dragons. Fairy stories tell children that dragons can be killed.’
