“Always Create.”

This is just about the wisest thing someone has ever said it to me. And it may or may not be a surprise that such words came from a man whose most memorable creation is called “Dickbutt.”

KC Green, a well-known webcomic creator (Gun Show, Horribleville, Hate Song) and cartoonist. He doesn’t earn much money from his creative endeavors, but he expresses himself, improves his artistic skills, and brings plenty of laughs to thousands of people. What better reasons are there to continue creative endeavors than those?

So go forth, my right-minded friends. Write that novel, or script, or song. Draw that comic, paint that picture. Get a group of your friends together and produce that film. It doesn’t matter if it’s too similar to someone’s idea, or someone badmouthed it or made snarky comments about it. It’s about you and what you do. Do it.

It’s as simple as that, people. There’s no real way to elaborate on it.

Always create.
