For a while I've been writting general plot ideas to make a series of comics. That was not too painful, each was about half a page of general ideas.

Now I've been writting down detailed scripts to define the first comic, page by page. And it's been quite painful.

I can sit down to draw for hours at a time just fine, but since I was a kid I've been suffering every time I have to read a book or write whatever the teacher was making us write down.

I had top scores, but only through paying attention in class, not by slamming books on my eyeballs. If the teacher teached during class what was later asked in the test, I was all good to go already. But if I had to read a book, or writte an essay... pain... so much pain. I hated language and history... intensely. But I pushed through it all when it was necessary.

This has made me consider how many different skills it takes to be able to do a single thing. A comic, in this case, is demanding from me many more skills than just my digital illustration skill to make something acceptable. Skills that I don't really enjoy exercising.


It's an interesting struggle.
