Today

I said I was going to do the Arnessa synopsis and script today and although I didn't get them done I did write two pages (almost) of the synopsis.  I'm sure by the time I get to the end and have it all fleshed out there should be three pages.  Thank you Berea College!  Maybe I'll have it done by tomorrow and then I'll work with CJ on the actual pages.  They said that there only needs to be a few pages sent in and I'm afraid that there isn't enough action in the first issue, but I really need it to be that way.  On the other hand if I treated it more like a full trade paperback or a graphic novel I think it might work better.  There just isn't enough action, although plenty of story, to fit into 20-24 page blocks.  It's also part of my own view of comic books.  I rairly buy issues, it just sucks sitting around for months hoping the writer/illustrator gets around to making the next one when you are hanging in the balance.  It just takes so much more time without making any money, not that I know what that is like, yet.  We'll see.  I need to sit down with CJ and get his word on the whole sha-bang. 

It's really weird that I'm even doing this let alone how bad I want it.  I admit that I have my flights of fancy and I enjoy doing all of them still to this day, but there is something about this comic book world that excites me.  Something I want to be apart of.  I've never been famous or even truly looked up to for what I do, no matter how good I was, but I'm hoping I have a chance at this.  It wouldn't make since that I would, there are probably thousands of weirdos out there that, like me, have hopes to see their comic book in printing and the publishers probably use half the ones they get to wipe their butts with.  CJ is such a good artist and  I have a good story and that's all I have to offer, I just hope that is all they require.
