How Do You Maintain Consistency?

In his interview, Mark talks about how his syndicated comic taught him how to show up every day, produce better artwork and to publish daily.

Consistency is difficult for all of us.

When you have achieved consistency in your work or publishing routine, or even in something unrelated to art, how has it made a difference for you?
