Don’t get into comics for fame. Don’t get into comics for any reason except to make comics.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Fame and money are never a guarantee in the arts, no matter who you are or what you create.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Making your comic is about the truth of your love for the art.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Not about fame. Not about money.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&#10;&lt;p&gt;If the audience comes, then yay.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&#10;&lt;p&gt;If the audience doesn’t come, you made a comic.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&#10;&lt;p&gt;And that’s the hard truth that makes you stronger.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&#10;&lt;p&gt;— Colleen Doran, These Things Are True&lt;br&gt;&#10;&lt;a href="https://colleendoran.substack.com/p/these-things-are-true" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"&gt;https://colleendoran.substack.com/p/these-things-are-true&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&#10;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://toots.dgplug.org/tags/Art" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"&gt;#Art&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://toots.dgplug.org/tags/Career" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"&gt;#Career&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://toots.dgplug.org/tags/Life" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"&gt;#Life&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://toots.dgplug.org/tags/ColleenDoran" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"&gt;#ColleenDoran&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Original: &lt;a href="https://toots.dgplug.org/@jason/112375317207965215" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"&gt;https://toots.dgplug.org/@jason/112375317207965215&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://janusworx.com/tags/art/" &gt;#art&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://janusworx.com/tags/career/" &gt;#career&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://janusworx.com/tags/life/" &gt;#life&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://janusworx.com/tags/colleendoran/" &gt;#colleendoran&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&#10;</description></item><item><title>2023-02-12T02:00:07+0000</title><link>https://janusworx.com/nm/20230212020007/</link><pubDate>Sun, 12 Feb 2023 02:00:07 +0000</pubDate><author>feedback@janusworx.com (Mario Jason Braganza)</author><guid>https://janusworx.com/nm/20230212020007/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Love reading feisty &lt;a href="https://toots.dgplug.org/tags/ColleenDoran" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"&gt;#ColleenDoran&lt;/a&gt;! &lt;a href="https://www.tumblr.com/colleendoran/709003651141730304/misunderstanding" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"&gt;https://www.tumblr.com/colleendoran/709003651141730304/misunderstanding&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Original: &lt;a href="https://toots.dgplug.org/@jason/109849294105553191" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"&gt;https://toots.dgplug.org/@jason/109849294105553191&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://janusworx.com/tags/colleendoran/" &gt;#colleendoran&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&#10;</description></item></channel></rss>
