Think Before You Think is a webcomic written and drawn by Sylvia. You can contact me at sylvia.lh.bvb@gmail.com. The comic updates every Friday, no exceptions. The content will never exceed a PG-13 rating.
Think Before You Think is about a relatively normal world. The only difference is that one of the characters, Brian, can read other people's thoughts. This comic starts out exploring how other people deal with the fact that he can read minds when they know about it. It may evolve in any direction from there. I only know what happens as far as I've written the scripts.
This comic started on June 12th, 2009, on Smack Jeeves. In February 2011, it moved to the Spider Forest collective, where it currently resides.

Here are the main characters, and some of the minor recurring characters. Other characters may pop up as the comic progresses.

Media, Resources, Inspiration
I draw this comic with regular paper and pens, and color it in GIMP. This comic is like an experiment in writing characters for me. In the past, I have only written comics about real people, and this is the first time I've written an extended work of fiction with my own characters. I used to use pictures of actors and actresses to make the main characters look consistent. I think my main inspiration for drawing this comic is the lack of other comics like it that I could find. I used to wonder why there aren't any comics like this out there, and then I decided to make one myself. Since then I've been able to draw inspiration from other things I love: Twilight, Questionable Content, The Office, Pushing Daisies, etc.
My Other Comics
Lifehouse: Behind the Video Blogs - This was the first comic I published on the web, now rarely updated. It's a fan comic about my favorite band, Lifehouse. This is the comic that inspired me to get into webcomic making, and brought me some amazing fan experiences. Lifehouse lists the comic on their official websites.
The Adventures of Anna Glenn and Her Pet Ethan (no longer active) - This was the first comic I drew (before Lifehouse BVB). It's about my friend Anna and her brother Ethan, who, in the comic, is a mini person and her pet. It was kind of random.
The Special Powers Club - This was a short spin-on of the Anna & Ethan comic, with some of my other friends with super powers. I don't know if it will ever update again, but there's always hope.
