Last week I wrote about what you can do when you make mistakes in the artwork of your webcomic. A mistake in the writing is oftentimes harder to fix than the artwork. Foreshadowing and building of the world’s foundations is baked into what you write, so when you finally ...

Making mistakes in your writing
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Aug. 27, 2021WHY you should STOP CARING.
damehelsing at 12:00AM, June 6, 2021
What is one of the big things that holds us back? Normally it’s us caring too much, caring about what we do, how we look, what others think and more.
Last week, while writing the article The Magic of Frames I was talking to PIT_FACE about it and she ...
Haters going to hate
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, May 21, 2021
It’s a fairly common sentiment of the Internet. When you put yourself out there, you’re going to get others making bad faith criticisms for the sake of “trolling”. The phrase, “haters going to hate” is meant as a rallying cry for the ego; Bolster yourself with seemingly unearned ...
"Just practice" - Giving better advice
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Nov. 20, 2020
I remember when I was younger and looking to improve my skills, I was often met with “Just practice,”. Although the intentions behind the adage were well meaning, that did not help me improve. As I’ve gotten older, I found myself at times, usually when I was tired myself ...

Setting effective goals
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, May 29, 2020
I recently got a new cork board for my work area to help organise all the goals I want to achieve throughout June. Every month it seems more gets added to the list, but how does one go about setting realistic goals that can be achieved?
It might be hard ...
Developing a style
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, May 22, 2020
I recently took on the Sailor Moon Redraw Challenge. I was so excited to pay homage to the series that inspired me to take drawing seriously but most of all, I was curious as to whether or not I had a style. It took many years for me to realise ...
On Writing Therapists 3
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 25, 2020
And so we have arrived to the juicy stuff- Evil Psychologists!
You'd be surprised, but there have been a LOT of those in real life. It's the reason that the ethics code and penalization if that code is broken is so severe for professionals in the mental health ...
On Writing Therapists 2
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 18, 2020
Therapists are the type of character whose occupation can easily seep into their ‘off the clock’ life. It's not something that can often be helped. Psychologists don't ‘turn off’ their perception of behavioral patterns and personality analyses, the same way you can't ‘unsee’ the rabbits after you ...
On Toxic Fans (for 2020)

So the third and final installment in the new Disney Star Wars trilogy is out. Personally, I haven't seen it yet, mainly because the mild curiosity I have can wait until the movie hits the streaming services.
Initially, it seemed like this final installment would be met with average ...
