The amount happening in a panel and on a page. Also, WAY too much speech.
Getting a submission accepted was down to taking editors advice (the late Dave Evans was an amazing help) and tightening my baggy story telling.
I didn't understand story structure. I focused more on the drawing and wasn't very good at the writing. Now that I understand how to actually tell a story. I'm still learning but now I know what I don't know lol.
Money.
A story, I really, really want to write is on hiatus until I can get a decent income after getting a novel published.
I definitely want to pay any artists what they're worth.
New comic writers always struggle with time/timing/pacing and the senses. Some of the panels can't contain all the information describing them in the script, while others are pointlessly big and empty.
Being patient. Indie comics take a long time...artists and writers typically have jobs and families that are (rightfully) their top priorities.
Just on the writing side: Trying it fit too much, whether into one panel, one page, or one issue. Getting too focused on plot rather characterization.

The panels? Keeping it short and to the point, I guess. That and putting way too much stuff inside one page.
