National Graphic Novel Writing Month, Day #8: Can conventions get your graphic novel written?
Day eight, which coincides with the first day of the New York Comic Con. The obvious question for the day: can conventions get your graphic novel written?
HELL NO.
You know what gets your graphic novel done? Butt in chair in front of writing implement of choice, fingers to writing implement of choice, one word after the other, until you have it written.
Time spent wandering the aisles is not spent writing.
Time going to parties is not spent writing.
Time sitting in panels listening to writers does not get a single word of yours down.
And time spent obsessing over your hall costume embroidery is definitely time spent not writing.
Get your tailfeathers down and write. You know how to do it. So do it.
Tomorrow: how conventions can help get your graphic novel written.
