1. Holy shit you got to meet Nicole Maines! I’ve been a fan of her as a human being for a while now and would love to hear more about your time hanging out with her. What was she like and what did you two chat about?
2. I’m really looking forward to your new creator-owned book. Given how you’ve grown as a writer over the years, would you consider it to be a step up from your earlier creator-owned material or are those books so dear to you that you wouldn’t dare think poorly of them in any way?
3. I need to read those planned posts on beginnings and endings right now! Something that beginner writers forget is that what they’re writing will ultimately be a first draft and will (hopefully) have an editor overseeing it. Extensive notes and outlines aren’t as necessary as they think because nothing is perfect early on and revisions will happen.
Oooh Sebastian! You love your questions, but they're always so thoughtful, so here's some more rapid responses for ya!
1. We've met before, and we get along so great. We just usually burst into our own weird senses of humor and start excitedly chatting about our own projects, since we both bring a lot of our own deep love as fans into our work.
2. This is a great question! I love all my old work, but this new one is absolutely borne of the last five years of making a TON of comics on a HUGE stage at a FAST pace - I've learned so, so much, and I'm so excited to bring it to my own world again. Thanks for asking!
3. You're exactly right!! One of my favorite tips - "The first draft is you telling yourself the story." Write that first draft like you're talking to a friend, if you need to! You can edit it later!
Thanks for the thought out response, Tini! This was all great to read and I hope you have a wonderful day. Definitely looking forward to your new book 👍🏻.
I would also be down for a collaboration! Nicole has done enough good work with DC over the past few years that I feel that she’s gotten enough experience to be able to write a creator-owned book or two.
That’s great! Didn’t you describe yourself as being a bit of a cynic at panel once? If so then I have gotten the vibe that Nicole has a wonderfully snarky sense of humor, so that would check out.

Ooh, Nicole!! Loved what she’s done with Dreamer these past few years, would love to see you two possibly collab on a project!

She's fantastic, and we have similar senses of humor for sure, hahaha.
