And for anyone interested, my horribly convoluted process of comic writing..

First I write up random story ideas whenever they hit. So my notes are very... random. I write in random rectangles all over a single page that might cover three, four, ten different ideas at once, with arrows going here and there... some of it's written backwards because I got bored writing forwards... it's chaotic.
Sometimes I draw "key panels" that I'd really like to see finished so those are sketched right away alongside all the notes. More often than note I have 1x2 inch page layouts next to my notes to indicate what I'd like to kind of see later.

After I put it all together after a couple of days of sorting it, i rewrite it out like a script most of the time, though lately I've been exercising some story writing muscles and have started to add more structure and "meat" to the rewrite. ^_^

Then I separate the story into pages based on good spots it should pause for a page turn, etc. And then those pages I break down what would go good in a panel.

Then I take a page in photoshop and start adding in where the panels would look good, then type out ALL the dialogue I want to try to fight on the page and I start sorting it around to make ti work. Trim some words here, maybe end up (re)moving a panel there, check a head a few pages so my edits make sense, and then adjust the story/script accordingly.

After that I start blocking in where images should go, using the sketches in my notes to make sure my key panels are accounted for or if they even work at all and then I fill in the rest with what I think looks good.

And this is 1 page of 8 using that process. It seems like it's a lot of work, but for me it can be a LOT of fun if the story is something I really am interested in telling.

Oh yeah, the outer edges is a template from KaBlam, a place for comic publishing. ^^
