Looking back I wonder how I managed to concentrate on such a solo job with life going on all around me. I had to divide my time carefully. I kept to a routine — depending on my daycare provider across the street and the time Aaron would be in school. My most productive hours were between 9:00 am and noon. I wouldn’t be able to go back to the studio until both kids were fed and ready for bed. I often worked until midnight, then I was up by 6:00 am the next day to get breakfast prepared, lunches ready, and set out the kids’ clothes for the day. It’s no wonder that the drawings done in my early years were so simple!
Way to kill the mood…I know the feeling. I keep a notepad next to my bed so I don’t have to get up to write things down. I know if I wait till morning I’ll forget. Everything I think up during my waking hours goes straight to Evernote on my phone.

Kind of interesting. He suggest controlling her inspiration, while an a-hole husband inspired the course of this strip.

I’m with John. Writing well requires work, not magic.

With that kind of comedy, the next response would be “Don’t quit the dental practice, John”.

Actually — your husband is such a jerk, he’ll be able to kill that inspiration in you fairly quickly…

How to kill off inspiration, John? Take up dentistry – that ought to do it.
