The PROBLEM with "Write What You Know"
#authortube #nanowrimo #fictionwriting
Many writers have heard the phrase "Write what you know." This does lead a lot of people to think that you should only write what you are familiar with based on your life or lifestyle. However, I think this is incredibly stifling to a creative mind. Here is how I would change that phrase to get the creative juices flowing.

My FICTION WRITING Experience and What it BRINGS to the Channel!
#authortube #nanowrimo #fictionwriting
One of the roles in creating a comic is the writer's role. Up until now, I haven't really gone in-depth with my fiction writing experience, but I figured I would lay it all out for you with the novels that I have written! Since this channel is called RC's Gateway 2 Comics, I would be leaving you at a disadvantage if I didn't include writing tutorials and tips as part of my channel content. I hope it helps you in your creative journey and makes your journey even more fun!

A Hero's Righteous Fight Against Lies! Reviewing T-Bird & Throttle Issue 3
#comicreview #comicbook #indiecomics
Superheroes have enemies on all sides, but not all of them have to have superpowers. Sometimes a simple lie with a hefty helping of propaganda can be enough to take down a hero. There just have to be people that will stand against it, just like T-Bird's daughter Emily is doing in T-Bird & Throttle Issue 3. Definitely check out this book!

T-Bird & Throttle is a comic created by Josh Howard and it was one of the first comic campaigns that I backed on Indiegogo. It's one of the comics that pulled me into the crowdfunded and creator-owned comics sphere, and I absolutely love it!

TOP THREE Sites to Crowdfund Comics
#crowdfunding #comics #indiecomics
Any creator looking to publish their comic may have to turn to crowdfunding to raise the funds needed to accomplish that task. In my opinion, there are three sites that are the best to use to crowdfund a comic. They seem to have the highest visibility and are the most known in comic spaces.
Since FundMyComic is the newest site and is still growing, you can find a link to that down below! Definitely go and support the creators that are on there!

The NUMBER ONE Thing to Remember About Creative Jobs
#artwork #writing #creative
What is the number one thing to remember when you get into a creative field?
You NEED to have a thick skin!
When you put your work out there, you will receive criticism and critiques. A lot of people may like your work, and a lot of people may not like your work. You will have to be prepared for this because if you react in a way that is inflammatory then it could burn down your career permanently.
