Attempting to Take One Step Forward

Tue Sep 29, 2009, 1:15 PM
  • Mood: Artistic
  • Listening to: The Overly Dramatic Truth by El-P
  • Reading: Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud
Right now, I want to actually start with making a graphic novel. So far I have the art skills to sketch and ink. I even have a few ideas down for stories. The only major obstacle for me to overcome is to actually have the discipline to write.... and type. There's also having the knowledge about the relationships between writers/comic artists and publishers. I've had this history of having a hard time typing a story; whenever I try, I end up frozen because I get stuck with the story structure.

I've also been reading this book (which should be on the list) that's helping me out. So far, I'm doing the basics until I know I can go to a higher level. As for the writing, I'm going to have to make up my own "assignments" with typing up research papers, random stories and pitches to get my ideas flowing. Ugh... it sounds like a lot! Oh well, I don't really have a choice if I want to train. -_-

Oh I've been doing fine, just hectically keeping up to date with homework and I've been the same perv you know and love. Btw, the only reason I've gotten any better was because I own a wacom tablet. XD How's life on your end? I recall you being happily married and whatnot.

As my old art teacher Mr. Loughran would say, "A good artist borrows, but a great artist STEALS."

haha not fair!! i need to buy a wacom screen. my school has one, but i never have time to use it cuz i'm always busy. married life is just another path in life meaning that it's become a routine thing now. but it's all good. other than that...i've gained more weight and chopped my hair and donating it to locks of love.

Aww That's nice! My friend did the same thing. She still looked cute afterwards. I wouldn't worry too much about the weight gain too much. Your hubby loves ya just the way you are, especially that..... I'm not finishing that sentence. XD
