Today I sent the first draft of my synopis to CJ for review (it did end up to be three pages.) I got a glowing review, except for the end. I don't think the story is the problem, I like the end, kind of a "finding yourself" buddhist ending that I had been going for. The problem was that I stopped written while I was on a roll and started today when I was way more distrated and had less heart in it. Hopefully tomarrow starting at 7 am (yes, I get up that early for resions you will not know until I no longer have to) I can warm up a cinimon roll, open a cold sippy of milk, turn on some music from http://www.paganradio.net/ , and get to rewriting the ending and writting a completly new script for the first issue.
Good news is that, according to CJ, who has had more hands-on in the comic business than me, I don't have to worry about adding action. What I do feel like I need to change is the feel of the first issue. You see, Arnessa started out to be a one issue 24 page comic in it's self; a kind of artistic expression, but it has grown into a multi-issue or even trade paperback size so the inital issue no longer compleatly expresses, or expresses too much, for what I want.
Right now I'm going to listen to CJ tell me a story that you will soon be able to read in the next issue of TPOT. Until then....
