throughout the years (after much haggling) ive finally figured it out. one of those Thomas edison moments, one of those albert hoffman realizations.. One of those...
It's the format...
actually.. its the format. Really. That's what takes the most time, other than writing.. and artwork of course.. its all about petty passes.. four and then five, etc.. six, seven sometimes. It's the placement of every sentence, or even if a word is spelled wrong.. every word matters in the over block of text, according to the program, according to the file.
Hasnt that happened? Writing a paper, and you add a word or something, and then the whole format of the pages afterwards are all fucked up like crop after locust.. and theres sentences all run on, there's words floating, or incomplete without the hyphen or whatever.. it gets all fucked up, is really what im saying, the literal bottom line, but anyways, so ive been taking a break from physical writing, and ironing out the storyline kinks, the chapter placements, and even gotten the format going, and working off the template, literally from the top to the bottom.. it sucks, but im planning far ahead for this, and just trying to let it come natural, let it come in a way that ive used before, but to let it sort of build itself throughout it's floors, and corners.. shine it's own light, and draw it's own map.. so the storyline is coming in, the structure in a few different arrangements.. and ive seen the difference over there, ive seen the artwork evolve, ive seen the last few months.. ideas, building themselves from a new tool, ideas coming full circle to something that looks like Michelangelo did it.. just take a step at a time, just keep going forward, keep the snowball rolling
