Pushing good things to the extreme

But mindfulness—and stopping—is hard, especially when you’re enjoying something!

Let me know in the comments: what’s one good thing you push to the extreme?

Reminder: if you want to explore working with me, I offer comics coaching and developmental editing to accelerate and support your creative journey and graphic novel process.

Events!

Join artist Nicole Kelner and me for this month’s K’s Kettle: A Cozy Hour of Comic Making. Nicole creates the awesome Substack Arts & Climate Change and our theme is going to be making weather related comics. We’ll spend about 40 minutes drawing together (no pressure, all skill levels welcome!) and wrap up with an optional share.

This session is free to join. I’ll be moving future ones to paid subscribers only, so if you’ve been curious, now’s the perfect time:

For Minnesotan folks: my in-person book launch of Tuck Everlasting: The Graphic Novel is September 2 at the wonderful Red Balloon Bookshop in St. Paul. I’ll be doing a short reading, discussion, and signing. I would LOVE to have you there! Space is limited, so please RSVP:
