Gail Simone quotes:

When you need to stop an asteroid, you get Superman. When you need to solve a mystery, you call Batman. But when you need to end a war, you get Wonder Woman.

Your writing is still yours, no matter what the contract or your editor might say. Trust your gut. It knows when you're screwing up. Your brain will lie to you. It loves the paycheck, it loves positive feedback. Your gut is under no obligation to make you feel good.

I get very invested in characters, it's the only way I find that I can write a book and really make it work.

I admire writers who can remain objective and distanced, but that doesn't seem to be in my toolbox, somehow.

If I am to die tonight, let me die a fighter.

Being a bad writer a thousand times first.

Don't let the worst people you know dictate your behavior.

I have read many, many of these first-time published efforts and often, even though some are absolutely at pro levels of production, and have very costly printing and presentation, they lack a purpose, they merely emulate successful comics that already exist... I can't stress this enough. Have something to say.

Keep faith, trust to love, fight with honor, but fight to win,

Some people are worried about the future of comics and some people are busy building it. That latter group are my heroes.

There are writers who will do whatever they are told regardless of the circumstances - these are called 'hacks.' Your job isn't to make life difficult for your editor. But once a piece of crap goes out with your name on it, it is gone forever and will haunt you...
