Always ask, but don't expect to receive. Be grateful either way.

Hello, all. I need to raise $385 by the 16th to renew my webhosting, including my websites, thier domains, and email services. It's been a hard year. My wife passed away in January and I am struggling with mental health issues. Anything helps. Thank you.

I've moved my website's newsletter over to Substack at thewyrdnorthwest.sub.... You can get a peek at some of the projects I'm working on. It would mean a lot if you followed me over there. Thanks.

How often should you post your comic? There's no Magic Number. Instead, I suggest FCS. Find an update schedule that enables you to post as Frequently as possible while maintaining Consistency (in quality and in schedule) and keeping each update Significant.

Perseverance is key. But not all perseverance is created equal.

I made a free post about a project I'm working to help educate people about #comics and their depth as a medium. I'm hoping I can help get people into reading and/or creating their own comics. You can read the post at www.patreon.com/Tait

Laugh It Up Forget profound lyrics and soaring melodies – this league is all about the chuckles, the groans, and the sheer absurdity of music.

I discovered Music League recently and decided to try my own. Each round players submit songs(using Spotify) for a theme, once everyone submits a song or the deadline is reached then all the players vote on the best submissions, then the next round starts.

She Makes Comics
She Makes Comics This documentary is about the women and their important role in the comic book industry. It includes numerous interviews with icons like Kelly Sue DeConnick, Karen Berger and Jenette Kahn.

I stumbled across this great documentary on YouTube about the role and challenges of women in American comics. Definitely worth a watch.

I've decided to let this go. I take on more projects than I can manage at once. I do have some ideas about trying to contribute to the online comics community, but they're taking a backseat for the time being. Pacifica and its associated world need to come first for now.
