Original artwork, not a still
Something that worked for me was imagining that where I wanted to be – an author, primarily of fiction, making good books, making good comics and supporting myself through my words – was a mountain. A distant mountain. My goal.

Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
A distant mountain turns several creative ambitions into a single direction. Writing, making books and earning a living become parts of an imagined destination rather than separate demands. The image gives choices a point of reference, helping the speaker judge movement by whether it leads toward the life he wants.
