Sometimes you think that you'll never get started but then
look back at what you've accomplished. I
can't encapsulate in a short blog post exactly how much time I wasted before
starting b-one. My work was never good
enough to even TRY to make a comic. So I did what most of us do, I waited,
procrastinated, delayed attempting to start the venture for years. YEARS. All
because "I wasn't good enough yet". Well, no shit. There's no way to
improve at anything by avoiding the task that you wish to be better at. You
have to work. WORK. It's always going to be work. Nothing will be handed to
you. You'll find your work cringe worthy at first. Keep working. Over time
you'll learn what works, what doesn't and the one constant is the work. The
process. Soon you'll find that you aren't so ashamed of your work. You may even
feel a little bit of pride. Either way, looking back at the past seven years
and seeing b-one become a reality is really satisfying. Am I proud? Nah, but I
do have a sense of accomplishment. You can do it too. It'll be work, but you
can do it. Just stop daydreaming about that great American Novel, that concept
album, t-shirt line, or comic book and start working. It's that first step of a
marathon, or first brick in the wall that people talk about. DO NOT WAIT TEN
YEARS. I DID. Take that first step. Get some work done. We can't wait to see
what you come up with.
Oh, yeah. Those of you that have been holding out for b-one
#8 print edition, the wait is almost over. Sending them over to distro this
week.
Sincerely,
Bobgar "Shut up and get to work" Ornelas
