Discipline is just good to have besides deadlines too. A good friend of mine taught me when I was 16 that I needed to draw when I didn't feel like drawing. This guy used to badger me at my house, call up and see if I was done with this or that. So, discipline yourselves in all that you do. But seriously, the 'Net can be utilized as a giant tool for referencing all sorts of material.
Writers can now study up on all sorts of background history, myths, legends etc.
And I still collect all sorts of stuff to this day. The point of all this is, that there is now division between the web and non-web art. In fact it is this type of division in the mind that will slow down the evolution of the form and split it into groups. Not a good thing overall in the end. Utilizing these three steps we can all unlock a new direction for the medium itself.
