Life's Love Lesson #109387
OMG...LOVE!
Okay. This is not necessarily about love. lol. It's more about something I want to do and my growing love of/for it.Comics...
Graphic Novels...
Illustrated Novellas
So a while ago I came up with the idea of writing a comic series. The only thing is I don't draw that well but I have been knocking the idea around in my head and I think I'm loving the idea more and more. My plans is to actually create an animated short from this idea this summer and see how it flies.
The Beautiful Tomorrow is the name of the story and of course it's about a young woman and her challenges to remain sane in an insane reality where she's the happy unhappy girl but always searches for the proverbial silver lining. She is often met with harsh realities making it almost impossible to want to stay positive but she manages to turn each situation into a lesson until she comes to a place where she hits a brick wall and leaves it to her two confidants to steer her in the right direction. The only problem with that is that these "friends" are pretty ass backwards and have absolutely no clue how to help her with her challenges. Aaaaaah. Isn't that just like reality.
What I love is the potential to write so many great stories for this character. I don't want to make her universe extremely big. I want the stories to be the focal point. It's more of a thinking comic. It's pretty funny. Lots of sarcasm, introspection, digs at many of the ridiculous pop culture references of the day.
I refuse to write the story in a vein of sounding parallel to my life because my life really could be a graphic novel but I want her life to be expansive but have her friends be understandably myopic because often it's those close to you that are so close they can't really see why you are having a hard time. Idiots. lol
But I'm falling in love more and more with the idea. I have always liked comics but the love has grown over the last 6 or 7 years. I have a very specific artist in mind for the illustrations and I hope she's available to work with me. Keep your fingers crossed!
I'm truly excited about this project because it's a slight departure from my other writing projects and the work that I'll be doing this year with other artists. I love diving back into the artist pool.
Anyway, You will be able to follow the evolution of this project on my Weeping Fountain blog (once I update it. I've been lazy). That's where I keeps my literary stuffs. :)
