Same Old Lang Syne
Hello, pals and gals. Those of you who have been paying close attention to my social media or this site have already noticed some changes. This site has been dialed back to a more personal-profile scope. All of the creative works are now being tracked at my Behance site, inconsequentialart.work. I have also just started a new newsletter called Inconsequential Art that you can subscribe toif you…

I get asked for writing tips all the time, here are some quick tweets that some may find helpful. :)
Advice for Those What Want to Make Comics
Advice for Those What Want to Make Comics
Hi. I understand if you are surprised to hear from me. I have been absolute rubbish at keeping up my goal of blogging every week or so. On the bright side, the busy days have been reasonably creative. Thank you for your patience.
My friend (and technically, cousin by marriage) June Madeley asked me to speak to her class at UNBSJ about making comics, especially making them yourself. I have given…

NaNoWriMo for Comic Writers?
November is NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) where many writers kick their creativity into gear and try to write a novel in 30 days.
If you’re a comic writer who wants to join in, I recommend a scripting goal: 120 pages (4 per day) is a solid graphic novel, but choose whatever length works best for you.
Comic scripting isn’t as codified as a screenplay, but if you want some tips on story building and a script format I find works well, you can check out my site: http://www.jimzub.com/rambling-about-how-i-write-comics-pa…/ … http://www.jimzub.com/rambling-about-how-i-write-comics-pa…/ … http://www.jimzub.com/rambling-about-how-i-write-comics-pa…/ … http://www.jimzub.com/rambling-about-how-i-write-comics-pa…/ …
Having a schedule and clear goal can be a helpful way to get motivated and do that thing you’ve wanted to for some time. It’s a bit of pressure, but the kind you choose to take on to push yourself into a new creative space. Build your skills and grow.

Before I spend yet another weekend hauling ass on multiple cascading writing deadlines, can I say how much I hate these writer/artist memes perpetuating the idea that creative people are lazy whimsical easily-distracted fools waiting for the muses to kiss their fingertips?
If that’s your process, great. I and every other person busting our humps are happy your semi-hobby brings you joy and/or financial success.
Artists work hard.
Writers work hard.
Musicians work hard.
Luck is part of the success equation, but skill grows with doing the work.
I make the mistake too. I joke that writing isn’t a “real job” and sometimes make it sound like this stuff happened by accident.
Incredible opportunities have come my way that I could never have anticipated, but they came from working hard and putting work out, year after year.
Do professional athletes brag about missing practice and half-assing their way through games?
The job can still be fun and amazing without endlessly joking that we’re layabout dilettantes clueless as to how the work gets done.
Take pride in the time spent improving your craft.
Be open about the dedication required to make art your vocation.
Future creators deserve your honesty.
Hey Mr. Gaiman. What do you do when you've planned a scene for months, but when it's time to write it down are uninspired by it, and it feels more like work than art?
Write it anyway.Â
When the book is done read it all through and you won’t remember what was written on the magic inspired days and what felt like work.
50
A week ago today, I turned 50. Up until then, I spent the year alternating between not really caring, feeling apprehensive, and feeling a bit depressed. So on the day, it was a relief to finally get there and find that it was not really that different. And it was a really great day. My son Jack was here all week visiting, so I got to spend the day with him and Nicole. I took a surfing lesson and…

A New Decade
As I write this, I have exactly one week left in my forties, and that is a strange feeling. Not a bad one, exactly. But very strange. I was talking with my mother recently, as we sometimes do on the phone, about the disconnect between mental age and physical age. Because they had me in high school, my parents were always younger than other people’s, and my mother could justifiably say stuff like…

Normally I take Friday nights off but I had an idea for a new comic this week that demanded I work on it, so I did a fair bit of sketching and writing on this as yet untitled thing.
In Lieu
I didn’t feel it was appropriate to entitle a blog post “How The Fuck Is It Already June?!” but I couldn’t think of a better one either, and I think that is probably a good metaphor for the times, but it’s best not to think about it too hard. Which is a good general guideline for the times.
Anyway. June, yes. When I last wrote, over a month ago I am so sorry, I had just attended a small…
