Day one

So I'm in a classic situation for someone producing their own comic,  the crunch.  Of course the crunch is completely self imposed,  but in order for it to work that has to be wiped from your mind.  I am preparing for a convention in Portland.  It is good to sign up for cons,  'cause  you have to do it six to eight months in advance,  and you can wake every morning and remind yourself how much it is going to suck if you spend all this money and time getting ready for something only to be unprepared,  as opposed to how cool it would be, to be proud, confident,  and ready to hustle your ultra rad book.  So how that our minds are right,  we know that every day we could be sliping behind,  we can get down to work.  When writing a comic we have to write ( conceive the story),  story board (picture the story),  lay out (thumbnails or fit the pictures on a page count), then pencil (draw them),  and ink.  Maybe you want a cover to obsess about too.  Sound like allot of work,  it is.  But here is your worst enemy,  getting stuck!!!   O.K.   I'm an independent artist and creator,  I have learned from doing,  I didn't go to art school,  beyond high school,  and watching what my brother was learning,  so I made this up as I went.  That's why I think I have something to share.  It's has been and continues to be a rough and rowdy road.  And you never know where the next obstacle will come from.  You may need something to say to a friend when they are putting demands on your time,  or something to say to yourself when that panel is not coming along the way you want it.  I have always been a perfectionist,  it is one of my worst enemies.  Nobody can read your comic if nobody sees your comic.  That is a constant point to remind yourself,  and take it seriously,  'cause it's true.  Every body's first has problems,  you just need to learn and grow from them.  Well I am going to have to sign off there for today,  time to get ready for work.  Man,  maybe tomorrow my ideas will be a little more clearly lay ed out.
