As of now, I am in the midst of writing GHOST! And I must say IT'S BEEN AWHILE. I haven't written a graphic novel since Acid Monday (and that was mostly bullshit writing-as-you-go anyways). In (comic) art school I'm forced to write short stories, something that I can deal with, but not really interested in pursuing outside of assignments. Then I have to cram it all in five pages or less to pull it out of my ass in time, so I cram lots of story into little space. IT'S ANNOYING to say the least. I like writing LONGASS comics so I can drag out the storytelling and make a fucking point.
So I thought that by writing GHOST! (which is currently planned for three volumes) I could let loose and write like a fucking madwoman. Which I am. But. You know how I'm ending up writing this thing? IN FUCKING SHORT STORIES. I mean, it's probably a good thing because it will help tie up inconsistencies and form a pace to the comic, but I know. I just KNOW. That it's because of goddamn art school and those stupid short assignments fucking with my head.
Not that I'm condemning the short story style or anything. Who knows, it may turn out really well for what I'm doing. It's just that I'm realizing this as I go along and IT'S FREAKING ME OUT, MAN.
Also the PLANNING.
THE PLANNING.
Oh god there is so much of it, I had forgotten.
