“I'm just a broken thing you're familiar with.”
― Rick Remender, Tokyo Ghost, Vol. 2: Come Join Us

“Always know your protagonists inside and out. As a writer, show us things about them we've never before considered; make us care about who they are and what they want, so much that it's gut-wrenching to see them roadblocked and exhilarating to see them triumph over obstacles. You have to live inside them, through them--inhabit them as an actor would and tell stories about things that matter immensely to the both of you.”
― Mark Waid

“People tend to find books when they are ready for them.”
― Neil Gaiman

“If you make art, people will talk about it. Some of the things they say will be nice, some won’t. You’ll already have made that art, and when they’re talking about the last thing you did, you should already be making the next thing.


If bad reviews (of whatever kind) upset you, just don’t read them. It’s not like you’ve signed an agreement with the person buying the book to exchange your book for their opinion.

Do whatever you have to do to keep making art. I know people who love bad reviews, because it means they’ve made something happen and made people talk; I know people who have never read any of their reviews. It’s their call. You get on with making art.”
― Neil Gaiman
