So the last day of Comicon was an interesting one. I didn't do a whole lot and part of it was just a mad scurry to find any last minute cool things to get for people. I did go to a panel for Doctor Who though and got to hear David Tennant give his farewell to the show and talk about the last specials that will be airing. Also, Russel T Davies was there which was cool too as we got to get a lot of insight into the production of the show and hear them talk about the experience of working on it. It was interesting and the trailers for the specials look awesome. I'm excited about the direction the show can take with the person that will be running it who was one of the best writers on the show and also even though David Tennant was amazing, I think he is right in that one of the things that keeps the show watchable is the chance to meet and get to know a new doctor each time he changes.

Afterward, I wandered around some more and then sat and people watched at a cafe near the convention. I met and talked a bit with a lady whose husband works on a tv show called Kid Vs Kat. It seems that the theme of everything I have heard from all of these creators is that the only way to do anything at all well or in a capacity that people can respond to and enjoy, you have to just work every day and do it. Write when you don't want write, write everything that you think you might want to write, even if it's not good, learn from what you did wrong and then work to improve that. This applies to drawing, kung fu and pretty much everything. It's a constant and perpetual battle but if you enjoy it, it will never feel like work at all.
