Sim Antics

Over on Rantz Hoseley's Panel and Pixel message boards, Dave Sim made an appearance. It was kind of a virtual convention panel. The topic was creating and promoting comics. He said many interesting things, but this one jumped out at me as great advice:

The ranks of failed comic artists are filled with "planners". The successful guys are usually "doers". Stop planning and start drawing. Get the drawing done and get it printed. And then start drawing again. It's pretty basic. Whatever you're doing the clock is ticking and you are rapidly running out of time. Make the best use of the time that you can.
