I just ran across a blog entry made by Scott Kurtz, writer and artist of the long-running Webcomic PvP, and author of the book How to Make Webcomics. His words so mirrored the sentiments expressed in the Beckett quote I’ve used for the title and subhead of this blog (as seen above) that I felt compelled to share them with you.

He wrote:

All of the progress I’ve made in my work, be it writing or art, was accomplished through getting it wrong the first time. My father always told me that the first brush stroke will never be perfect. There’s only so much you can learn from reading books on writing or art theory. You have to create and get your hands dirty and see what works. You have to take risks and you have to fail.
