Maker: Fuck it
Manager: Also fuck it
Marketer: Fuck, and I can’t stress this enough, it
… I’ve been playing Whac-a-Mole with some stomach virus that scuttles around from family member to family member and periodically makes someone throw up. My current status is deeply tired and burpy but puke-free. Add in an intense work week last week, continuing resistance to finishing HEATSTROKE HEARTBEAT, and Daylight Savings, and I’m writing this week off. Not with the intention of producing sweet fuck-all, but you know. Holding space for it.
This week’s image is from a Stephanie Hans guest issue of THE WICKED + THE DIVINE, which I mainlined all of this weekend. What a great comic. And what a great artist. (For the record, I love Jamie McKelvie too, but I’ve always been gobsmacked by what Hans does with color and this is no exception.)
Currently listening: The Seven Signs of Publishing Resistance: Creative Self-Publishing Podcast with Orna Ross and Howard Lovy. Orna offers an alternative framing for resistance to the one Steven Pressfield puts forth in THE WAR OF ART—less “kill resistance or it’ll kill you,” more “see what you can learn from it.” I may try extermination first, but I appreciate her alternative point of view.
