Having friends who believed in me~.ă.:*ă»Â°â
Really, I'm pretty okay with doing any stupid thing as long as I have someone backing me up.
(Also, posting chapter-by-chapter instead of page-by-page is great for the anxiety, but it's terrible for readership if you can't update consistently.)
As for actually writing the thing... Just shoving all the story elements I love into one thing, so that even if other people are like "this is the worst thing I've ever read," at least I'll love it. That and... when I started I thought of it as a warm-up, like "after this I'll draw a good webcomic, but that's never going to happen if I don't draw a bad one!" That sentiment has been left in the dust, but it really helped to start with. |D;;
