Do You Show, Tell, or Both?
One of the biggest problems writers have is the show vs. tell problem. The problem is that it's too easy to just tell the story, especially as we're used to thinking that we're, well, telling a story. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it does mean that there are a lot of places to slog through; this practice encourages plenty of exposition and exploring characters' thoughts and emotions, as well as adding commentary. While some of this is needed, the problem is the delivery system.

How to Find Inspiration
Here's the deal: I can tell you what inspires me or I can tell you a lot of inspirational sources. It's easy to tell you what has inspired me, but it's almost impossible to tell you what's going to inspire you; every writer is different and has their own different perspective and point of view on things. Because of that the stuff that you find really interesting won't be the same thing someone else finds interesting.

Recharging 101
One of the problems with being a writer is that we have a dysfunctional relationship with the Well of Ideas. Sometimes it will overflow and we'll get frustrated because we have no way of keeping up with the flow; we'll take as many notes as we can in hopes of having something in the dry times. And the well of ideas will run dry, driving us crazy because we can't figure out how to reconnect to the flow.

Before You Begin to Write
When it comes down to it, there are two different types of writers: plotters and pantsers. A pure plotter needs to have everything outlined, detailed, and otherwise ready to go. A pure pantser, on the other hand, goes by the seat of their pants: They want to totally improvise their book, with no real plot outlined, looking to find the plot as they go; they want to find things out as they go, hoping to be surprised as they go.

Do You Have a Story to Write?
One of the worst parts about writing is putting a lot of time and effort into a story, and then finding out that you just don't want to write it about halfway through. One of the biggest reasons why is that, for any number of reasons, there are just too many issues with the story; some of us recognize exactly why while others of just realize that intuitively. The basic problem is that relying on crutches is usually the worst way to create a story; you just have so little actual input yourself that the story is going to be weak and therefore a pretty bad read.

How To Find An Artist
Finding an artist for your comic can be all sorts of fun. The problem is that most writers just can't draw and so need to find someone who can. This means that they need to frequently find places where artists hang out, frequent, or generally visit in order to find an artist for their project. You need to find someone who is willing to do the art for you, and you need to try a number of different places in order to find the best possible for your needs and given your limitations. Make sure that you offer something worth his time, and you should find a decent artist.
