When you started Octopus Pie, did you find it very difficult to keep up a schedule of posting? How did/do you manage to do it then/now?

I manage to keep drawing the comic because I enjoy the stories I’ve written. I think the characters are cute and fun to draw. I like when my stories come together. I like when an arc reaches an emotional or funny climax. I like the feeling of being satisfied with my pencils/inks, and looking at every detail of a finished page. For a few years I worried I wasn’t very good at comics, and that felt inhibiting, but now it doesn’t bother me. It makes me happy to draw my comics, and I think they are good.

I keep up because it’s pretty easy to nudge yourself to set a schedule and keep up with something that makes you happy. I think when people constantly have trouble keeping up it’s because they either expect too much of themselves, or they’d rather be doing something else.
