Accomplishment

[talktooloose]

I just had a great call with Miniscule in which we re-inforced and encouraged each other to keep going on our dream projects.

I wrote 1,300 words of back story this morning and created a map in Illustrator of the city in which the comic takes place. Although I sometimes think I'll do my most productive thinking while out walking in the sunshine or lying in bed, the fact is that the ideas mostly come when I'm sitting at the typewriter. It's as if my brain has to produce something to keep my tapping fingers happily employed.

I wrote details about the events leading to the world of 2052 in which the story takes place and outlined a lot of the political, economic and social conditions that led to the "current" state of affairs. I also began writing the back stories of the characters but I ran out of steam. That is where I will begin next time.

Good work, TTL.

I will have to wait to write about script theory as it has been presented to me by Miniscule. Now, I just say, ENJOY! Life is beautiful.

(and don't think about how much it is costing to heat the house today)

This sounds--from the little I read here--like an interesting setting for a comic. What sort of comic would you like to ink?

[talktooloose.livejournal.com]

Hello Randy, you must be stoned.

I wrote nothing about the setting here, unless I wrote about it months ago and can't remember. Ink? I would like to ink the same comic I am writing and pencilling.

Still, thank you for responding. I hope they are good drugs.

(lol, now I'll go to sleep and feel bad for writing snarkily and think that you hate me now. night, night)

I was referring to the city of 2052 that you mentioned in the second paragraph--that was the dream project, right?

[talktooloose.livejournal.com]

Ah, quite right. 2052, 30 years after the catastrophe. What continues to amaze me about the writing process is how the most intriguing details seem to emerge out of air as I type. I mean, I knew what the catastrophe consisted of and I knew what the city would be like in 2052, but the events in between all came out in a rush of mad, inevitible logic.

Now I just have to keep going step by step, trusting that the same thread of mad logic will keep unspooling.

That's how I was taught in minischool. At least the tuition was cheap.
