gs_silvaI need to respond to the comments some of you left me, and read the links - looks like good stuff! But I woke up with a totally new approach to a scene I'm struggling with, so I've been spending the day working out the logistics of this new scene. How do I do that? I don't know! Half of it was wispy dream-thoughts and barely remembered mental images. I thought up all the dialogue, but now it's late and I've probably forgotten it by now. That's okay. I can always rewrite dialogue. I do it over and over again. It's one of my little quirks as a comic creator. Dialogue gets done first, middle, middle again, and last, and then one more pass, and then run through critique, and then rewritten again.
I have a little trouble with brevity. I'm a naturally verbose person. So I'm always trying to trim.
The original pages weren't very well drawn, so I was going to redo them anyway, but I think the pacing in this one is better. And it doesn't require very much French. I'm lingering too much on the human figures, though. I need to get it all down.
And then I have a request for a sausage veg stir fry, so we'll do that, and then tomorrow we're going to a dance performance. Where I will either think of some new epiphany, or I'll wrack my brain for an epiphany and fail to think of one.
I'd add a screenshot, but it's a multistep process and I have to go cook dinner. I forgot what a production it was to compose posts on LJ, well, DW.
