And Happy Easter to all who celebrate!
Productive week of articles.
Have a Blessed Easter!
Same to you, Alex!
Happy Easter! The link to “What 1 Writer Learned From Starting A Webcomic and then Stopping It” doesn’t seem to be working.
Same to you, Robert! And…ugh. Sometimes these links are a pain. Here’s the untruncated: http://mythicscribes.com/miscellaneous/starting-webcomic/ And, if they’re working on the site and the page is up and down, here it is cached: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:zKmkC8S8W9IJ:mythicscribes.com/miscellaneous/starting-webcomic/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
Thanks – usually I would just skip to the next article but I just started a webcomic so this seems like it might be helpful
