Be Kind to Yourself: A Guide to Surviving the Creative Process (57:02, 130mb)
Ricky Lima talks about his books and the burnout he went through in making them and how he and others can learn from that. He says before starting a creative project asking yourself questions about your motivations for the work,
easy for you to do, drawn to, and what honestly motivates you to do the work. Giving yourself an honest assessment, money and how to handle the lack of it, learning to do as much as you can on your own, doing skill swaps with
your peers, deadlines, setting some time for exercising helps, not being hard on yourself when working on indy comics, staying away from bad actors, finding a space – possibly outside your home – that helps you be creative,
support systems and where to find them, handling criticism, helping others when you can and dealing with writers block.
