-in my story... I am going to sit back and let the characters take over. It may not make an excellent narrative, but they know better than me what they would do. (Does this sound insane?)
Drawing comics, or trying to...
Its April 4, 2023 and I'm still wrangling with page 164 of Rueday. It is giving me a lot of trouble! I have the most trouble with fitting one entire "nugget" of the story onto one page. I really should have made the page format of my Graphic novel larger when I started. Too late now! I also can't draw my own characters.That is kinda weird isn't it?
Spammy stuff in Chat
Hi ! Just a note here to apologize for not responding to the "requests" section on the "new notes" chat feature. There is too much weird spammy stuff on there! I do read the notes that are under "General".
I work totally backwards
Do you have an atypical way that you go about creating comic pages?
REAL comic artists have the dialogue written out exactly, then form the art around it so it fits!! I work totally backwards. It's so stupid! when I do a comic page I do all the art first, then scramble to figure out the words I am going to use from maybe paragraphs of dialogue. Visuals first, then get the words to fit? This is a REALLY dumb, weird, bassackward way to work, but I can't seem to break the habit!
I keep saying to myself .. OK THIS time I will have everything written out and ... and... oh, I don't feel like writing it out now. Later. Here's a cool picture.

Welp, maybe next week for page 53!
I find I am much happier with a troublesome page if I let it "soak" for a while.

That sounds about how I write all my stories. 
I get things rolling and otherwise, I just nudge them if they start rambling off too much into silliness.
