                            When we make things, write stories, any creative work needs input. Sometimes that’s focused research, other times it’s the indirect idea fuel of taking time to recharge, play games, watch, and read things that give us energy.

                            Join us for an exploration of what we've been reading/watching/playing.

                                      Ever think about participating in hourly comics day or similar comics events?

                                      Avoid entirely but think about it still?
                                      Or try and get stuck?
                                      We’re going to take the worksheet my students use in the Customizing Your Next Creative Challenge workshop.
                                      Then we’ll put it to use to puzzle out a frequent comics-making challenge.
                                      Will we go with hourly? Daily? Any particular comic styles?

                                                                    Some frequently shared advice among creative people hoping to build an audience or attract customers is to “post something every day.” Many of us find this plan reasonable, yet difficult to act out.

                                                                    Rob has chosen to take this practice on for 2021 with a daily bit of writing on his blog. This week Jerzy checks in with him to reflect on Rob’s goals, approaches, and how he’s managing things so far.

                                                                            Join us for a discussion on re-evaluating the work you’re doing on a project and stepping back to see if it’s meeting your goals.
