Don’t Rush It – Nanowrimo Week 1
I'm doing the Nanowrimo challenge this month (because I'm a crazy person) mostly because I've had this idea for a great comic and wanted to incentive to get it written. It's very different from Even in Arcadia in that it's not speculative fiction at all. The script is about University students, one of which who has a passion for being a professional Starcraft 2 player.
Each week I thought I would post my writing to see what people think. I would really like some serious feedback, but not on the prose. Let me explain what I mean: because this is going to be a comic, the quality of the prose is irrelevant, I'm looking more for feedback on the characters, scenes, dialogue and general feel of the story. I'm not writing it as a traditional comic script, so the final comic may differ quite a bit from what I'm writing now.
On Saturday nights I'll make a new update. I'm posting to my blog across three sites (Epidigm.net, the Atheneum and the Even in Arcadia mainpage), but I will see the comments no matter where you make them. The post on the Atheneum will be open for the public, so you don't have to worry about donating.
The working title for the story is Don't Rush It. I may or may not change this in the future!
The Atheneum
When I was a young and impressionable teenage girl I had a small seed of a dream. I wanted to make webcomics like the ones that I enjoyed reading during the lazy hours of IT class while trying to avoid the mind numbingly boring information on network architecture. I would read Megatokyo and be amazed that people would come back to the site a few times a week to read the pages as they updated. Then, as I have been prone to do, I told myself it was perfectly possible for me to do that too and even be successful at it.
Thus began my long and sometimes difficult journey into the world of comics that has led me here. I love Even in Arcadia. I love drawing, writing, sketching, promoting, doing all the boring bureaucratic paperwork for this comic. To be honest, I want to do more of it, more often.
