Hello! It is school holidays and I am sneaking some quick comics in while my children have their designated screen time. I’m quite fascinated by how Violet has invented her own superstition, or perhaps ritual around managing her fears.I too was paranoid about random dreadful things happening to me when I was a child – that my eyes might explode, that my legs would snap off, that the monsters would rise up and eat me. These days my fears are too terrifying to articulate – I did consider drawing some of my own, but I was too superstitious to do so. I’ve heard it said that you should write what you most fear and that’s where your most powerful writing will come from. But I’m too scared to do that too.
