I have a stuckedness problem. I do creative stuff, get stuck, then move on to something else. This “giving up” then creates a slog of anti-creative glue that just completely gums up creative thought.
So today- I’m posting some of my unfinished stuff in an attempt to blow out the clog and quit whatever it is that keeps me stuck. Meh- we’ll see.
Last year, I attempted to revamp Pamo’s World comic. I got this far:
I never finished coloring the second panel. I did write out the conclusion to this set up but felt deflated when I realized I had done something very similar in 2016 (that I never finished). Here that is:
I allowed myself to feel defeated when I realized I keep going through the same slog. Now I’m like… who cares?!!! That’s what the creative process is all about.
Then in January of this year, I did this comic:
I did another few comics after that which I haven’t finished. I’m going to give it a go at finishing those and posting them before 2020 ends. If I don’t finish them- I’ll post them anyway in an ongoing attempt to de-gum.
DE-GUM DE-GUM DE-GUM
You are your own worst enemy!! Love seeing your comics again Pam, I don’t care if you think they are not perfect, they make me laugh and that’s all I need!

Thanks Tony. It is the process. It is, it is. One day I’ll believe it for myself.
Thanks too for your inspiring posts- they help more than you know.
Now- I’m stepping out of my own way dammit. Time to have fun again.
