Oh happy day! I’ve finished draft one of the graphic novel!! It’s called the Protector, which was previously the Collector, which was previously, well… many other concepts until it settled into this final form. It’s over 9000 words and 20 pages long and not one syllable of it will be in the final book. I absolutely love how batty that is. So now, I have a plot to work with and all the scenes fully described. Time to edit, make sure it all flows and gradually rework to make sure every frame is doing something useful.
And then I can get drawing.

That’s crazy – I never thought about having to write a wordless book. Hope the editing goes well and that you get to the drawing sooner rather than later!
Thanks! It’s actually been a little liberating… it’s all description so feels very visual, only I’m not getting stuck on drawing the detail and then desperately not wanting to let go of pretty things that don’t help the story at all and I don’t have room for. It reads like a film – zooming in and out, close ups, expressions, action, vistas…
Awesomeness! I can’t wait to see it!
Elise that is FANTASTIC news! It does sound like a wonderful project!
