From 6/8/2018. I took it down back then because I was sick of arguing about it, but I’m putting it back up now for pride month. Hope you’re having a lovely one 💜

how do you be a mom and still have energy to finish comics? I'm asking sincerely as someone who wants to be a mom but is currently too scared that I'll lose my identity if I go through with it. If you've answered this before feel free to just link me to your response. And of course there's no actual obligation to reply.

Who is the mom who still has the energy to finish comics? Is the mom with the energy to finish comics in the room with us right now?

Ok ok, you’re asking sincerely so I’ll be really fucking for real right now. Here is how I manage to maintain my relatively meager comic output:

1. I have a day job that pays me well enough that I don’t need a second job, and I’m able to work remotely so I’m able to spend a little time with my family and do housework in my downtime.

2. I have a partner who supports the fucking hell out of me, recognizes how important Making Stuff is to my mental wellbeing, and does extra work to help me carve out a few hours a week to draw.

3. I cut way, WAY back on the scope of what I was trying to make. It may not look it at first but worm-in-a-rock god is a significant departure from my typical comic work — there’s no dialogue so no lettering or fussing about text layouts. It’s black and white, and each page is usually about 4 panels. Worm-in-a-rock god is about as simple of a character design as you can get. The first chapter barely had backgrounds. All that, and I’m still only clocking in at about a page a week. The whole thing came from a place of: I keep not being able to finish the things I want to make so I’m going to design a thing I can make with the time and energy I have.

So, uh: luck, love, and compromise. And a lot of hard work??? Same stuff that goes into making a kid. Same stuff that goes into making anything I guess. Sorry, I don’t have a secret.

And idk how to say this in a way that doesn’t seem cynical but you’re going to lose part of yourself. You’re 100% of a person now and the part of you that is going to be a mom has to come from somewhere. But it’s not a loss. It’s just a change, and you were going to change anyway. And I really like the part of me that changed into a mom.

Good luck, with whatever you end up making.
