Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your

I write backwards sometimes while writing the Bolt Chronicles(Bolt is a superhero I created on DeviantArt.com). It sometimes makes it easier to plot each story.
It was fun for me until I realized Iām wholly inept at believable characterization and āShow rather than tell.ā I can map out a storyās plot; I canāt make the dialogue and other personal interactions convincing.
I have had many frustrating, maddening moments in my Projects, but the wonderful feeling when you finally get past a knotty problem is well worth itā¦
All the great literature of days gone by was written with a quill pen and Indian and/or squid ink and no whiteout. Imagine the process of making corrections.
There are two different types of writings here. Adam has to write as his professional workand income for the family, usually some contracted work. Writing a novel is entirely different. There are few contracts or deadlines for the novice writer who writes for fun. Good luck my friend. Enjoy your showerā¦..
Work can be fun. I owned my company for 30 years and enjoyed the interaction with my clients, employees and vendors. Iāve since sold the company and retired but still look fondly on those days!

Will the pruning become alarming first, or will the hot water run out first? Tune in tomorrow to find outā¦

Iām with Laura on this one. Most of the time itās just plain fun. Even when itās not, it is a compulsion.

My pre-coffee eyes didnāt see the P in weep the first read, and I think I prefer that as the punchlineā¦

It looks like Adam is plum out of luck, plum out of ideas, and plum out of his mind.

I think Adam needs a side gig that pays. Apparently, his job is not making him āhappyā. ā¦I suppose thatās the norm, really.

Everyoneās process is different.

Like many professionsā¦ writing should be something you āhave to doā. If you donāt have to, consider something else.

I knew a fellow who was a master at creating āsayingsā. One of my favorites was,āItās hard to beat fun for a good timeā.
