My thought process, vis a vis comic writing ()

  1. Hm, Juni has gotten into a situation where it's finally talking to Kali again. I guess it should do a recap. It would be a good way to explain some of what's going on to the readers anyway.
  2. Okay, this dialog seems okay but it's not really going anywhere, and what the hell do I draw? Juni, Chandra, and Kali talking to each other with Juni thinking of past events?
  3. Meh, this is really annoyingly boring. Maybe I'll just write it as a chapter of a short story to post over the weekend.
  4. Okay, since this is just text I can be a bit more verbose. I'll expand this dialog a bit. No need to be cryptic, words are cheap.
  5. Okay, what was one boring strip has become a dozen paragraphs of boring dialog. And I'm still stuck with where the dialog goes from here and how this moves the story forward.
  6. REWRITE TIME
So yeah I've thrown out half a dozen strips and a bunch of attempted short story but taking a step back has gotten me back on track. Feels good.
