The best value of Nano for me is that it teaches me that yes, I can sit down and do something every day rather than procrastinating. I wish there was an equivalent in the art world.<br /><br />Submitting scripts without art is the norm, correct?<br /><br />Also, have you looked at any web publishers? Or self-publishing online? For the latter, I don't know how the rights issue plays into that. I know with short stories, if you self-publish online and reach a certain number of visitors, some publishers won't accept it.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640676277438651883.post-61047032798645107722009-11-10T01:35:04.069-08:002009-11-10T01:35:04.069-08:00But with art would be cooler.But with art would be cooler.The One True GLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17603526778266187315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640676277438651883.post-49318889551513026272009-11-10T01:34:36.958-08:002009-11-10T01:34:36.958-08:00You're going to write a novel in 30 days?

Yup, teaching yourself a skill that is parallel to something in which you a bit more experience is strangely awesome.<br /><br />My next post is about a similar experience (in terms of short fiction Vs comics/graphic novel RESOURCES).<br /><br />It would be cool. Small caveat: I may also submit to a publisher that accepts scipts without art.The One True GLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17603526778266187315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640676277438651883.post-21641802720316438382009-11-09T23:05:46.431-08:002009-11-09T23:05:46.431-08:00lol...well that's the first proposal I've ...lol...well that's the first proposal I've ever gotten! Yep I can draw, though it's always been very traditional pencil/charcoal drawings. After spending years drawing horses and ballet dancers I started teaching myself how to draw in comic style. (And of course, drew a ballerina in comic style.) It's a learning experience for me.<br /><br />I'll have to dig through my sketchbook and scan some stuff for you to look at, and draw some new stuff for you, since I haven't had time to draw lately with NaNoWriMo going on. Recently I was asked to illustrate a Superman story so when I get going on that I can show it to you.<br /><br />I'm in no way an expert, as this is still somewhat new to me, but I like to learn new things and I'm trying to push myself out of my comfort zone. I think it would be kind of cool if we both embark on learning something new together and see how it turns out. :)LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640676277438651883.post-60143729414244393472009-11-09T01:28:41.073-08:002009-11-09T01:28:41.073-08:00You can draw?

Marry me...But seriously, I'm only at the start of it (I'm only done with 14 pages of a possible 45-PLUS-page comic one-shot / graphic novel at this stage).<br /><br />I'd have to see samples of your superhero stuff (if you have any), but as I said before I'm only at the very beginning. I've had to teach myself a new form of writing - this is both fascinating and difficult.<br /><br />Btw, Jim Lee is probably my least favourite of the artists I mentioned.The One True GLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17603526778266187315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640676277438651883.post-36392881133820989942009-11-05T18:10:39.398-08:002009-11-05T18:10:39.398-08:00I like your usage of the word solitudes. But it h...I like your usage of the word solitudes. But it has kind of a sad connotation to it. It makes fans of non-mainstream genres sound somewhat isolated, which is sometimes the case.<br /><br />I wish I could get into turn-based card games (not that I have anyone to play with) but they seem to get quite complicated and reading the directions always made my head spin. Though way back in high school, I remember playing a Star Wars Phantom Menance card game with a friend-of-a-friend and it was quite cool. What I really want to get into is Heroclix, but alas, I'd have no one to play with. (This is the price nerds pay when they have non-nerd friends.)<br /><br />If you can't find anyone on DeviantArt to illustrate for you, I wouldn't mind doing it. I recently decided to teach myself how to draw comics after years of traditional art...granted, I'm nowhere near as talented as Jim Lee or even half (okay, probably three-quarters) of the up-and-coming comic artists on DA, but if you're in a pinch I'll gladly do it.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.com
