A day for comics
Friday was a very disrupted day. Jon and I had an appointment in the morning, and we had parent/teacher conferences in the afternoon. Which means it was not looking good for more progress on the book. Sigh.
But in an effort to be productive, I went over the comic stuff. We had some cover roughs from Ron Lim. A really cool article from Marvel spotlight. And other stuff, because comic work is never quite done. Everything I did needed doing, and the comic is easier for me to do in smaller bites of time. Unfortunately, I’m one of those writers that needs hours to write on a novel, and yesterday was not looking good for the whole hours in a row thing. Oddly enough even working on the original comic script of FRIST DEATH with Jonathon was more user friendly for an hour at a time. I mean we could get up to speed and make progress. On my own with a novel, an hour has me just barely with my first cup of tea, and staring at the screen. Two hours is the minimum for me, and frankly at the end of two hours I’m just getting into the groove. I don’t know if it was collaborating with Jonathon that made it quicker, or if script just is faster off the mark for me, maybe both. It will be interesting to find out down the road, if we do more scripts.
