Mookie resigns himself to being partners in crime with Ruth, he's running out of time to pull a moving picture out of thin air, and without Ruth, he's toast!
So I'm fairly deep into the editing process now, and I stumbled across a very helpful youtuber who has a great channel allllll about good writing/editing.
So in here, she breaks down the use of two tools, a list of all your scenes and then a "Plan For Revision". It was surprising how helpful even just listing out all my scenes on paper was! It was especially useful in helping me zero in on scenes that had minimal to no conflict, a big no-no in writing (and especially in horror)!
The next thing I assembled was the Plan For Revision, in which I dumped all of the notes I've received on the story to date, as well as all the things that occured to me while I was building out my scene list.
Woof, it's all a little daunting, especially since issues 6+7 haven't even been reviewed by my editor yet! So I can expect a lot of rewrites over the next few months...I'm actually going to be revisiting issues 1+2, there are some improvements to be made, I just hope that they come in the form of adding pages and not in scrapping old ones.
It kinda sucks when you think you go something right, and then someone else gives you some really good notes that make you wanna change it. If they were crap notes then we'd just be steeming on ahead to issue 4, but when a good publisher gives you good advice...maybe you don't GOTTA take it, but you probably should...
Also want to thank you all for the love I got in Trial By Comics this week! I'm glad I had a good excuse to show you guys how I write these scripts, while also showcasing one of the craziest segments in the series! You can check it out below if you want to see some 5th dimensional knitting!
