you have to be kinder to people who are slow processors.

you have to be kinder to people who don't understand your jokes.

you have to be kinder to people who forget important dates.

you have to be kinder to people with cognitive decline.

you have to be kinder to people who were always this way, too.

UPDATE

Hi anon, honestly, it's discipline. Motivation could only get you so far, so you have to work on your comic regardless of how you feel that day.

Set a schedule or deadline and try your best to stick to it. It also helps to break the process into smaller tasks so it doesn't feel overwhelming. One step at a time. Script, thumbnails, sketches, finalizing. One page. One panel at a time. Even working on a page for just 5 minutes is progress. Sometimes starting for one minute can suddenly turn into 8 hours of drawing xD it's all about building the habit and getting yourself into the zone.

Looking at other comics helps too. Reading, watching movies, listening to music that fits the mood of your story, all of that can give inspiration.

Also, don't let perfectionism stop you from progressing. A finished page is better than a page you endlessly redraw and never post...but if the Will genuinely just isn't there, it's okay to take a break and come back when your head's in a better space.

And if your comic itself no longer feels exciting to you, maybe ask yourself if this is really a story you want to tell? Maybe explore the world more, rewrite scenes, or focus on the parts that made you love the idea in the first place

1) A thin person with dark skin and black, coily hair wearing a yellow top stands in front of the aromantic flag with closed eyes, a green heart on their chest. Text around them reads: Black aros matter. ("Aros" is in green, the rest is in black)

The aromantic flag has five horizontal stripes, in green, light green, white, gray and black.

2) A thin person with medium-dark skin, no hair, a beard and brown eyes wearing a purple flannel shirt stands in front of the asexual flag smiling, with a dark purple heart on their chest. Text around them reads: Black aces matter. ("Aces" is in purple, the rest is in black)

The asexual flag has four horizontal stripes, in black, gray, white and purple.

3) A thin person with dark skin, long, colorful locs and brown eyes wearing glasses, a yellow hat, a green shirt, and black suspenders, smiling in front of a rainbow infinity symbol. Text around them reads: Black neurodiversity matters. ("Neurodiversity" is in rainbow colors, the rest is in black)

4) A black fist stands in front of a green and turquoise splash of paint, with text around it reading: All black lives matter. ("All" is underlined and hot pink, the rest is in white)

‘The Ghetto Tarot’: Haitian artists transform classic tarot deck into stunning real life scenes:

Welcome to the Ghetto Tarot, a project from award-winning documentary photographer Alice Smeets and a group of Haitian artists known as Atis Rezistans. The idea was to take the classic Rider-Waite tarot deck of 78 cards and create a photographic version of each card using settings and objects in the vibrant ghetto of Haiti.
