I've been working on an original comic script for over a year, now. I can't remember exactly when I started, but I first sketched concept designs in the sketchbook that came before the one I have now, and the number of birthday pictures I've put here for a specific person says it's been a year.
The script is about 80 pages long, including two or three alternate scenes that I wrote, moved to one side for later examination, and then rewrote. What's left before things get moving:
-Divide the script up into chapters. The first parts are divided, but after I added scene after scene to one of them, I sorta started ignoring them as hard as I could. I want to have some kind of an idea of what the story's flow is like, though, and where good stopping points for snazzy chapter beginnings are...
-Divide the script into pages. This I'll probably do along the way of drawing it, but half the reason I want to divide the chapters up like so is so that I can have roughly similar amounts of pages in each chapter.
-Choose a medium. I'll probably start out with ordinary sketch paper and markers, but I need to actually try them out, and see if I can do what it is I want to do with them.
-Make webcomic-y decisions. I'm sort of expecting for now that I'll just post things on deviantart for a while, before moving to some other site, but I need to read up on this before I'll feel confident going on with anything beyond drawing and hoarding pages and art.
-Edit the script while all of this is going on. I'm happy that I've finished, and all, but I want to make sure that it's actually something that can reach people, instead of the rambling 'and then and then' stories of a four-yearold child.
Edit: .... WHY DO I STILL HAVE NO TITLE FOR THIS THING.
AAAAAGH WHY DOES THIS DO THIS TO MEEE.
