at long last, a beginning
This morning, I opened up Illustrator.
And I opened up the template I’d made at my table at APE. And I opened up a script. And the experimental drawings.
And I roughed out the first page of Drowning City.
It’s a real thing, now. At some point in the next few days I’ll start painting that page. Or I might rough out most of the rest of the chapter first. I’m not sure.
Can I make it live up to what I want it to be? I think so. I’ve learnt a lot since initially coming up with it back in 1995. I feel like my outline is solid, and I’m confident I can fill in the gaps now.
Right now, though, I should go get something to eat. I didn’t bother with breakfast and I have a bit of a headache.
(Other things I should do: get at least a basic skeleton of the website for Drowning City together, brainstorm some sample story outlines for Parallax. But not right now.)
