THE WEBTOON PROJECT
Before 8am is a webtoon told in poetic panels—where quiet mornings unravel with emotional weight,
and healing begins not with a fix, but a breath.
More than a story, it’s a blueprint: a layered, emotionally resonant series that explores maternal guilt, mental load,
and inherited silence—all through the lens of intimate storytelling. This project is also a live experiment in using digital comics
as a platform for prose writers and midlife career professionals who are redefining their work, voice, and income in real time.
This is the first concept in a larger body of work that challenges how we present ourselves online, how art intersects with strategy, and how mid-career creatives can earn while creating meaning.
Whether you’re a reader looking for catharsis or a creator seeking your next brave step,
Before 8am is a project that says:
It’s not too late to begin again.Not even before breakfast.
Each episode invites the reader into a visually rich world of reflection, while behind the scenes, the creator documents how digital spaces like Webtoon can serve as launchpads for:
- Publishing serialized poetic prose
- Building authentic audience engagement
- Testing monetization paths through merch, workshops, and commissions
- Reclaiming storytelling as a business model, not just a hobby
