Interview with my Inner Critic

I'm in Tom's Inner Critic course and tried my hand (and mind) at my Inner Critic interviewing me.

You just gotta transfer your understanding and competence with finishing something you can typically finish to comics. Not your competence with the medium, just your competence with finishing.
