So I've decided to dedicate my weekends to working on my graphic novel. I hadn't realized how much time research, brainstorming and character/plot development take. Not to mention drawing and redrawing everything. Even though I may not draw the final product I still need basic forms and visuals for everything. I know that mentioning this project to many people the reaction I will get is that it will take time away from my studies and schoolwork but the truth is that it won't. I have been using the weekends for me time and planned on using them for work when I get a job, so using them on this is actually a productive manner. Besides, I use it as a creative outlett and stress relief. Not only am I drawing for recreation(which I haven't done in a very long time) but I am working on scratching off something on my bucket list. This project is completely selfish. I'm not creating it for the world to become successful, famous or make anyone else happy besides myself. I just wish I had more brainstorming buddies. Only Sam pitches ideas back to me. I tried the roommates thinking with their extensive knowledge of comics and batman that they could bring something to the table but I barely received a hint of interest. They wouldn't be my audience anyway, but I could use the expertise. I also hope that it isn't considered fan fiction either. I worked mostly on characters this weekend, and I really need to work on story cause I don't have much, but unfortunatly for me the weekend is over and I will have to wait till saturday. If anyone wants to know what it is about and give me some feedback, ideas or opinions I will gladly post all my characters and plot lines so far.
