The Creative Process

Writing is easy as opening a vein. That being said, I'm convinced us writers are all some level of masochist.

Night Writer

Originally drawn for an online forum that has a fun project of member-submitted drawings/comics as of late.
But speaking otherwise; for this, I fear nighttime writer's block. Waking up, it goes like this: "Uuuurgh... morning... hmm. Oh...oh, COME ON!"

Writing Pains

"A writer is a person for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people."
- Thomas Mann
You said it.

Procrastination

My usual morning routine, Golden Girls removed.

A Writer's Stress

This drawing is of myself (with the coffee cup and glasses in the middle) surrounded by all my characters' chaos. This is pretty much how I feel every time I sit down and write: like they all come rushing for me, squabbling and causing trouble and demanding that I pay them attention. For that, I call them my kids. Haha.

My friends are pretty familiar with this cycle. Normal, busy bee, hyper, emotional, edgy, chatterbox.
