You (and most comics writers) juggle a bunch of projects at once, do you have any advice on how to manage that, both in a practical (e.g. scheduling) sense and in terms of making sure your brain has the bandwidth?
On the practical side…
I’d strongly advise you over-estimate how much time everything takes. You know your work-rate? Never plan to operate at your max work rate for any extended period of time.
(Me? I don’t schedule to work on the weekends. So Every 7 days I have 2 days which can be used for panic mode shit-hits-the-fan if I need to. Ideally, I don’t, which helps avoid burnout. In practise, most of my relaxation is work of a different kind, but that’s me.)
So - between the above, it means you can practically be sure you manage all this.
I plan for a minimum 5 pages of new draft (or equivalent) every day. In practise, that can change, and on a good day you write more, but that is a steady and sustainable pace which leads you to produce at least four scripts a month. Even if you’re being slow, that’s a script a week - and “A script a week” is a good and useful way to thinking about scheduling. “This week is about this.” This also helps on cognitive load…
On the Bandwidth issue…
Changing gears between projects is the hard thing. This is, in my experience, primarily in the generative side of things. In non-generative work, the load in switching between projects is much lower.
My usual day is “generative work in the mornings, all other work in the afternoon.” This is a plan, and rarely completely sticks, but if it does, it’s a good structure.
Generative work is anything entirely new - mainly first draft scripts, the aforementioned 5 pages.
All other work is obviously the usual busy work (e-mails, etc) but also includes things like edits and even polishing early drafts into scripts I can show an editor. If the underlying work is solid, I find polishing not as cognitively demanding.
(Sometimes less essential generative work goes in the afternoon too, though usually affecting it in some way. If you want a reason for messiness in my Newsletters (usually written right at the end of a work day) then that would be it.)
Returning to the switching gears in generative work, this is where you get absolutely crushed. If I’m working on one project and I have to deal with ANYTHING else from another project, no matter how small, it involves downloading everything you were doing, picking up the whole other project, solving the problem, and then reversing the process. I lost two hours to this the other week, when I had to switch from Spangly New Thing to WicDiv to give a new interstitial for issue 39. The result of all that effort was the word “LOW.” Obviously for a less demanding project than WicDiv that would be easier, but with a super-structual fucker like this god book, I need to think how it reflects with literally the whole thing.
This is the other advantage of doing things week by week. You know this week is for generating a certain project. On Monday you start writing it. You upload that project into your head. You live with it for the week. By Friday, you’ve finished it. You download the project, reset on weekend, and repeat the process next week.

To Lead by Example or to stand Shoulder to Shoulder
When it comes to EDH, the choice of a Commander for your deck can be a complicated process. Does it help you achieve the end you are hoping for or does it win you the game in and of itself? This can be a troubling process for many people and such of how a deck is built will rely on the commander chosen. In this article, I will outline the two kinds of good commanders I’ve come across and how they contribute to the process of building a deck. At it’s heart, your commander will be an vital part of whatever deck you hope to build and can serve one of two roles. These roles are important to understand as they contribute to how the way the rest of your decks plays out and functions in comparison. This is to either support your deck or be supported by your deck. Understanding these two kinds of commanders greatly simplifies the process of building decks as it makes clear the route in which one should travel down when building your deck.
Each category more or less stands for itself, however for the sake of clarity, I’ll explain each in reasonable detail
Supporting Commander: The role that a Supporting Commander plays in a deck is, simply, to allow a deck to work most effectively. Usually, it’s abilities encourage a specific kind of play style over another. An example of a supporting commander than encourages a particular play style is Narset, Enlightened Master or Prosh, Skyraider of Kher, as she doesn’t give you a win condition herself and, although plays a minor role in how the deck is formed, for the most part the deck can function without her. She simply supports the deck by enabling it to function better. The deck can function fine without her, but she makes it all the better.
Supported Commander: A Supported Commander then takes this idea and flips it on it’s head by providing you with an explicit way of winning that needs a well oiled deck to make work effectively. Without the commander the deck will not function as intended at all as it’s core is that Commander. Uril, The Miststalker is an excellent example of one of these commanders as it’s abilities hinge, to a great extent, on the deck’s ability to support them. But should that deck support it, then it will be what wins you the game.
It is important to note that these categories are guidelines. Neither of them are mutually exclusive and you will find that some decks such as Purphoros, God of the Forge, will be a little supportive and needing a little support. However, once you begin to see decks and deck building in this frame of reference it becomes clearer what you need to do. Are you looking to support your Commander of choice with your deck or do you hoping to find a commander that supports your deck effectively. Once your know where you stand, the whole pathway of deck building becomes more clearly defined.

4 Year Anniversary Giveaway!!
Over the past four years here on tumblr, I’ve had a good time. I’ve made some friends, reblogged a thing or two, and even posted a few original things of my own. I’ve seen memes come ad go, watched how cat videos seem eternal, and above all I’ve really enjoyed the generosity of the community itself, not just in sharing things, but in the numerous giveaway I’ve come across my screen, for all sorts of things, from stickers to artwork and to Magic the Gathering cards.
I have been playing Magic pretty much since it came out twenty some years ago. I started with Beta edition, and while I’ve taken a break or two from the game here and there, for the most part I’ve slowly but surely accumulated a fairly decent sized collection of cards. While I sadly have no Power 9 cards, probably the thing I am the most proud of is my collection of Revised Edition dual lands. I have one of each of the ten different ones, except for Savannah (the G/W one) which I have a play set of.
Or so I thought…..
Turns out, I actually have FIVE Savannahs! Amazing what you learn when you take the time to do some long put off sorting. Take a look –
Check out that shoddy camera work! Woot! Now, this card is by no means in mint condition; it has seen play outside of sleeves. But by no means is it shoddy or torn in any manner either. It’s in a good solid condition, and it will be good for another twenty years of play.
Rules of the Giveaway!
One entry per person max, please
Reblog to enter
Winner will be chosen randomly from all entries
Deadline is when I wake up on Sunday, October 30th (noonish)
.You do not have to be a follower of my blog to be able to enter
North American entrants only please; shipping something farther than that costs more than I want to spend.
After I determine the winner, I’ll send them a message, and we can get the mailing information exchanged. Again, a big thank you to everyone who’s path I’ve crossed over the past four years! It’s been fun, and here’s to four more!
I had an idea a while ago- a cycle of legendary creatures from the Dragons timeline of Tarkir, rebelling against their leaders.
Each one is the clan’s main color plus the eradicated color, and they represent (to varying degrees) what was lost from the clan- Abzan ancestor-worship, Jeskai passion, Sultai nature-magic, Mardu camaraderie, and Temur shamanism.
I tried to make them fun build-arounds without being staggeringly OP, did I succeed?
That ability on the green-black legendary is awesome. Flavorful and simple. Very elegant design.
Command Zone: Inventors and Scoundrels of Legend
Between energy and Vehicles, Kaladesh is inventing some pretty impressive things. But it’s not all glitzy novelties and leading-edge technology. Some things in the set are just new things in a long line Magic traditions.
I’m talking, of course, about sweet legendary creatures for Commander.
And what a class it is! Kaladesh features a whopping seven new commanders, which is on the high end of most sets. I’m looking at the list now, and they just get crazier and crazier as they go on. I’m going in WUBRG order, and there’s a lot to say, so let’s just get on with it. Also, this is a long one, so just follow the read more break.
