Actually, tape measures are too boring for a graphic novel. They just sit around and don't have any real story to tell. A comic about building stuff would be cooler without focusing on one tool.

Did your grandma also swear by adding charcoal to her garden water, or was that just my family's weird thing?

Setting a firm stop time is smart because I've been there with deadlines creeping up.

Back in my first year, I swore by hand grips for stopping the shakes. I used to think they were the only thing that worked... but then I tried the finger tap drill and it changed everything. Honestly, @the_julia, that drill does more for steady hands than any gadget I've bought. It's just tapping each finger to your thumb rapidly for thirty seconds. Combining it with the two-minute break between clients makes a huge difference... you get the blood flowing without rushing.
