Had some time to myself during a weekend visit to my parent's house in Maryland and spent a good chunk of my time out on the back porch sketching and writing for my eventual comic, Pearly Whites.
It's coming along. I actually closed a few gaps in the progression of
the story and even made up a character or two that streamlines a very
complicated origin story. The problem with writing a story that's been
in my head since I was 15 is that that early on I had so many bad teenaged ideas ingrained into the story that they're simply taken as history.
But in reality, I can change whatever I want and no one other than me
will really know the difference. I mean some of these characters have
been hanging out in my head for over 20 years so I don't necessarily
want to un-make my imaginary friends, but for the sake of story
sometimes you make sacrifices. I'm pretty proud of how much tighter
Pearly Whites is getting though. I think I might actually *finally* have
the beginning of the story figured out, which is exciting. It just
keeps getting more and more ridiculous. It's like I'm taking a pinch
from everything I love and putting it in a mixer and making my own cake
of awesomeness.
