Charlie worries to much. I'm sure everything will be fine.

And now! Comic creation tips! :D Continuing on from the last update.

Keep a mini notebook with you at all times! In the beginning stages of creating a comic I had pages and pages of rough notes in my binder, I wrote EVERYTHING down that popped into my head involving the story, I put things down in that notebook even if, at the time, they sounded SO stupid or not even relevant to the story, the things that are not relevant can go into the 'idea bin' for other projects in the future. You just NEVER KNOW if those plot notes can help you. I always carried a little mini notepad with me; I never knew when something would jump up from my brain and say "HELLO!", don't think that if it's in your head it's safe, it's not, it's not until its down on paper, cause you are human, (unless there is something you're not telling me) and you'll forget things, and sometimes you'll remember it later on, but sometimes it'll be gone forever. And that's sad!


Now it's time to get all those jumbled notes into a script (If you have chosen the scripting path). At the beginning I broke down my notes into point form 'waypoints' in a timeline, the waypoints are critical events that I want to accomplish. For example:

Chapter 4's Sample waypoints:
Here are some sample point-form waypoints I wanted to show the audience from this part of chapter 4.

- Reminiscing of Milo from Jenny to make the audience more familiar with his character.
- Jasper reveals his face. And is revealing how antagonistic he is.
- Jenny is told that Jasper will be on his team.
- Learn more about Molly & Jaspers motives for helping the TZH team
- Sad Jenny is Sad with Milo's stuff


And now it's time to tie it all together! I'll show how I make scripts next update :)
