...you should send out, today, the best work you are capable of doing today. Of course you'll do better a year from now. But a year from now you should be writing the story that you care about and believe in at that time--not reworking this year's story.
I wrote a couple articles on comic writing for a website; an artist found them and wants to work with me. But this is all uncharted territory for me. He wants to illustrate one of my comics, and wants me to write out his idea for a script. But I barely know him. What should I do to protect my rights? Should I copyright my stories? Or stop being paranoid ... it hasn't even been accepted yet. Thanks for listening.

Do a short story with him first. 8 pages or less. His idea, your idea, either one. Then see how the relationship works out. You can copyright or register our scripts if you really, really want to, but at the breaking-into comics it can be expensive with no return. You just have to take the risk, and keep a record of our creative process and your e-mails, etc.
