Ahh, now this is very relevant to me! I have struggled with this for a very long time, and the part where you talk about being "frozen" by the enormity of the task you're trying to take on really speaks to me. Being such a perfectionist and such a critic of myself doesn't help either, to the point that it has actually paralyzed me. I hear what you're saying. Stop trying to be perfect, basically. I guess that instead of trying to reach a goal in a linear, progressive fashion, I need to take the kind of approach you talk about here, where you approach your ideas as sort of a playground and experiment with them a lot over a long period of time, and through that exploration you figure things out as you go. Having followed you for as long as I have now, I can see that this is more or less the approach you've taken with Up and Ahead and No North. For years, I guess I've been going about it the wrong way. Thanks again for another awesome and informative video!

It actually sounds crazy that there might be four books so A LOT must happen... We've gotten some hints of future events from old posts and art and ofcourse from forshadowing in book one. It is really awesome that this story will be long lasting. One of my complains in modern streaming is the pinging the whole show in day and thats it. With several books where we slowly page by page read it is great to let community grow and the series will live longer insted of slowly fading under all other comics and shows there are. It actually makes me even more excited for future books and issues to know that anything could happen next and it could even get our heros more far than closer to solving the mystery and saving everyone

There was a patreon post where she asked for questions in comments

I watched the new QnA episode and yeah these actually hit hard! I changed my story to what I want it to be already but now I realise that the high expectation part is the one that drained me. I got too caught up in trying to be perfect- But thank you so much for answering, this definitely helped me! And I’m keepin an eye on more Cameo opportunities in the future as well ✨🦜

Yeah asked the question since back then I felt such sudden huge lack of motivation for Into Unknown ( my upcoming graphic novel) and I got a bit motivation later, but still I keep losing it 💀😭 Gonna watch the video now and see da answer ✨

Aaah this was awesome to wake up to! 💖💖 I love the encouragement you gave for artists such as myself in response to Mila's question! I will definitely consider the advice given here Thank you so much for hosting these Q&A videos! I most definitely will ride along for the adventure as we continue each book ✨️super excited for all that No North has in store for us! (I really love the extra pages I read in the 2nd released issue) 😍

I'm always looking forwards these Q&A sessions. It's just so nice to listen you talk whatever the weeks topic is. Motivation and blocks is deffenetly something I often struggle with so this was good question to talk about. When I first started writing I just started head on until I realised notes and all you mentioned is VERY helpful. I actually ones asked about the big hard cover book so great to hear that awnsered. I would LOVE have cameo but in grneral I like seeing other people have that honor too. Being part of the community it still feel special to spot those guys
