1) Don't let your art hold you back (especially for writer/artists who say "I draw, but not good well enough." There are some amazing books out there with simpler art styles!
2) Produce a mini comic, soup to nuts, even if 8 pages or so. Planning, writing, drawing, lettering, pre-press. Submit it to a printer who does small run jobs. Experiencing this process and seeing your mistakes in page and file set up is very helpful. Do this before you draw a full OGN.
3) If you've not written comics before, check out Scott McCloud's UNDERSTANDING COMICS. Knowing how readers read them will help you write them! For structuring narratives, from short stories to long works, I love INTO THE WOODS by John Yorke (it's a book about writing, not a work of fiction). (less)

A comedy-of-manners graphic novel about imperfect progress (set in the CAVALCADE universe) and a parlor play about determination in choosing difficult paths. Both should be in a good draft state by 30 June.
