Having severe difficulties writing out Comic Theory notes. I was so excited thinking it would be really awesome to share my thoughts on things with everyone, but now that I'm actually trying to write them all out it's like suddenly all the words and ideas have become camera-shy and have fleeted from my head.
I have notes written down but those were mooched off other people's essays and such. I developed my own ideas based off this but didn't write all of them down. How silly of me. The only stuff I have written down is about how the most "popular" stories are similar in one way or another and why we might be attracted to these stories. But there's a lot more going on in my head and it's becoming a very unpleasant came of trying to catch them and pin them down on paper/Word. I have three word documents of random dribble and several pages in my journal with other musings, but I can't seem to solidify them.
It's all so abstract. Everything is connected in such a tight-nit fashion it's difficult to separate them all into categories so that it's easier for everyone (including myself) to understand fully. While something makes perfect sense in my head, it suddenly becomes mushy and disobedient when I try to explain it to others.
Also lost one of my resources too, a blog by a girl studying comics. She posted her opinions on why a good story with "bad" art is better than a bad story with good art. I commented that it also depends on your idea of what "bad" art is, because in most cases "bad" art is usually done on purpose, and is chosen to work with the story. However if the art is poor in terms of the artist having a complete lack-of-skill, than even the best of stories can be fizzled out and ignored.
Maybe I shouldn't have made that poll asking everyones if they wanted to see them or not. I feel like I just got everyones hopes up and that what I do end up writing isn't going to be overly... nutritious. *sigh*
I'm hungry. I think I'll go take care of that.
