Unsolicited writing advice, no: 73:
Stop calling yourself an "aspiring writer."
Just write.
Now, you're a writer.
Keep writing, reading, observing, learning.
Soon, you'll be a better writer.

Comics writer pro tip!
Keep a page tracker so you know how many pages you have left on a project, how much space left in the story and what daily page rate you need to hit for your deadline.
Then go over that rate without ticking off the tracker.
It’s like sending yourself a gift from the past.

Gene Hackman dying seems a good time to tell you that Sam Raimi made a western called The Quick and the Dead, absolutely every cool actor is in it, Hackman destroys in every scene as the Big Bad, and for weird reasons 1995 America decided it was bad and erased it from memory
