Preliminaries

I'm finding this a little tedious. I'm eager to just put pen to paper but I know that if I do so I will not finish or the final product won't be as good as its supposed to be. I keep reminding myself that Rowling had a back story for every person in the Harry Potter series. I'm not trying to write a series, I kind of find it tacky if there is no basis for it. This is a one shot deal and I have to get everything laid out before I can actually accomplish what I'm setting out to do.

So far I have about 10 hand written pages, back and front, of character descriptions and on top of that like 3 very bad sketches of the planet layout, another 10 pages of ideas and rough notes. I'm trying to get it all consolidated on my new laptop which is an added distraction what with all these cool new comics I've found online.

I'm going to go back to Neil Gaiman's website for inspiration.



Happy Halloween!!
