In my own little way that was my description of ‘ironing out details.’ Yesterday at the Chattanooga Manga/Comic Artists & Writers Meetup (that angela and I organize, rep-re-sent! ;D) we met some cool new people. After the meeting was over it was back to working on the outline.
Angela is pelting me with questions. Why does Yumiko do so-and-so? Why is the world like this? Which requires me to find some way of articulating the world into words. I’m a visual person, and as such I can see it so clearly in my mind but can’t explain it to save my life.
Oyasumi Yumiko is becoming more of a concrete story now, thanks to Angela asking me about things I would have never thought of. I tend to focus on major events and arcs in a story and don’t think about the little things. That is just how my mind works. So its extremely helpful to have another mind to bounce ideas off of (and that also can give you honest feedback whether that idea is weak and needs more work! XD).
I have tons of ‘homework’ for the Oyasumi Yumiko Project (Ang has been calling it the OY Project but that just sounds like an exclamation of “oy!” hehehe). So I will be drawing sketches of places, people, objects all found in Reverieh. So I gots work to do! Ang is keeping me in suspense for her outline that is due around Nov 5. I am obsessive compulsive and have little patience for things like this. So I’m on the edge of my chair waiting. XD
As a side note, we sold a ton of Bandit stickers at AWA XV. I wondered what people were doing with them and where they were placing Bandit in their spaces? I’ve heard a few people say he’s occupying their computer. I wonder… would a static cling of him do well? Ahhh I must stop I’ll get sidetracked with crafty projects!!!
