Fifty. Five zero. Halfway. Every page I do from this point is over halfway.

This strikes me as a good time to reflect on the pledge and how I feel it’s been a positive thing.

Because it has. Regardless of the content and quality of the comics – the important thing here is that I’ve been drawing.

Every.

Single.

Day.

Making sure I’m thinking about composition, panel layout, and timing… Developing a style that I can work in quickly but which doesn’t immediately make me cringe… All of this has been really important. And it’s been really important to do it every day.

No matter how ill, hungover, tired, stressed or just plain grumpy I’ve felt – I’ve drawn a comic. Drawn something. Told a story. No matter how dull or flawed it is.

Attempting this challenge illustrates there really is no excuse. If I can do this – anyone can. Want to write that story? Draw that comic? Form that band? Do it. Of course a job gets in the way. Of course life gets in the way. But find the time. Develop the habit. It is genuinely fun (even when it isn’t) and worthwhile.
