  I think its important to also mention in tip #3 that many webcomics take the easy way out when it comes to stuff they don&apos;t know how to draw. Once you notice it is painfully obvious that they&apos;re using premade assets.<br><br>Using these shortcuts probably makes coming out with updates quicker much easier too so try not to compare your workflow too much with others! I think quality is much more appreciated than quantity in the long run

  A practice you can do to help cut the fluff is to take a scene out, and see if the story remains coherent. For example, you can cut &quot;The Great Divide&quot; from Avatar the Last Airbender since it&apos;s not brought up again, but you can&apos;t do the same with &quot;The Crossroads of Destiny&quot; since It&apos;s would leave people with a lot of question in regards to what happened between &quot;The Guru&quot; and &quot;The Awakening&quot;.

  I really like the tip of giving a character agency using &quot;because&quot; statements. I always wondered why my characters felt flat when I would write their stories and hearing that made me realize they kinda just &quot;do&quot; without a reason, especially important decisions that move the story forward.

  I know something about the shared title bit for a webcomic. Years ago, I tried to write a webcomic and unknowingly chose a title that a billionaire decided to use for his space project. This was before it was well known. It gave me a case of PTSD towards writing another webcomic. Will it happen again? I am just now getting over the fear and am writing another comic.

  For the whole &quot;being original&quot; thing, my entire DND campaign was inspired by a random Minecraft video I found. Despite all this I have made it a completely different story just taking a big idea
