Doing a D20 Neverafter rewatch, and man, I just love this cast so much. Top to bottom, some of my favorite PCs.

There are few joys in this world like being able to write Bill Seacaster. Absolutely love this episode of Fantasy High.

Thank you!
Pacing and restructuring was definitely one of the hardest parts about the job. So, reassuring to hear it worked lol

The first time I've gone to a movie opening night in years, and I loved it so, so much. No spoilers, but there's a perfect line Clark has about Krypto that is just everything I love about the character. Can't wait to watch this again.

In the 20 years I've been working in comics, I've heard a lot of tips, tricks and advice-- but some of it I had to learnt he hard way!
So, here are 20 things that I've learned that I wish I had been told when I was first starting out (but wasn't!).

For anyone feeling down about not advancing in the WT contest, just know that this doesnt have to be the end. I lost one of their contests back in 2020. A few years later I was working on my first WT Original. The road to success is long and winding, but the only way to progress is by keeping at it.

Absolutely viable, but can be a bit difficult to really get going. I see it succeed most often with romance titles that provide a NSFW option. Less so with other genres, like action and whatnot.

Yeah, way too many cases of ratebombing.

Reviews should exist. Shout out to some of my favorite creators who are movie reviewers. But they do that on their own platform, where they cultivate an audience based on their taste.

I shouldn't see a Rotten Tomatoes score plastered on the screen when I sit down at the theater. Likewise for here.

Maybe a controversial opinion?? But I'm all for getting rid of ratings. I like reviews, but I don't think they should be attached to the product itself like it has been. Let readers form their own opinions, uninfluenced by some random number aggregated from readers they may or may not relate to.

Truly one of my favorite comics I've written. And with incredible art on top. Join the 800+ others who've backed the Kickstarter to read it!

The DC GO titles have been incredible, so I'm glad to see them continuing to expand. Now who do I have to talk to work on one of these...
