after writing and drawing the third skill of making comics is weathering the slog, and ultimately finishing it, and this is the hardest and most important part lmao. and needs to be practiced just as hard as the other two. and you’ll get better at the other two by practicing the third

Some books have portions that are like walking through a dark room and stubbing your toe on every piece of furniture to get a map of where you need to be.
And the only thing worse than doing that is...not doing it.

The act of writing is *thinking*. If you do not allow yourself to think thoughts that feel wrong, you will never get a feel for what feels *right*.

The point of writing crap is not that you should barf out anything.
It's that you should be aware as you are writing it what the flaws are, and you need to get through it the first time, because the act of doing so informs you what is wrong.

Just a thing about this: a common statement in writing is that you can fix crap, but you can't fix a blank page.
I have heard AI apologists claim that this is why it's fine to generate a first draft.
Now, to be clear, fuck this.
But also: an AI draft is a fucking blank page.

I know I don’t talk about writing much. It is because I am writing so slowly.
But I want you to know that I am taking a part of this story that absolutely sucked and took me months to produce four of the worst chapters I have ever written and in the edit I figured out how to fix it.

THREAD.
My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.
I've collected his work here...

Attack on Weathertop.
Frodo attempts, and fails, to resist the Ring as the Nazgul close in. I love finding atypical moments like this to illustrate!

Alt text needs to convey what is in the image but how flowery or detailed should you be?
Generally, the description needs to match the importance of the image. If the focus of the post is the image, give it a detailed description. If it's just decorative, write that.
However, for other things....

i think the crazy thing about games using AI to write placeholder text is that then you cannot search/skim the text for 'placeholder' or 'lorem' to find and resolve the missing asset since it's written as normal dialogue, so they will, inevitably (or intentionally) slip through
