Back to work...

Well I am finally getting back into the swing of working on my novel. Off and on for the last few years I've worked on it in it's current form. In reality it has been in production for nearly a decade. For the most part in its early life It was going to be a graphic novel, but as I became more skilled as an artist I became frustrated with the work I had produced, scrapped it, and restarted.

So now that I'm once again working on the book, what's new? I've been rethinking the formatting from a basic 5x8 paperback size to a full 8.5x11 size. I did some quick testing of the format change to see how it would effect the length of the book, mainly out of curiosity. Turns out that the difference between what I have now and the reformat of the book is just about half the size. 108 pages turned into 51 pages.

Why am I posting about this on a more comic related weblog? First of all, it's good advertisement for the future. Second, and more on topic, is that I plan to fully illustrate the book. This may help me get into the comic industry, since it will be more published material, if only I can finish typing this thing up.
