Well, I had the meeting with my friend, whom I will call Bryan*, and my new friend, whom I will call Sara*, about the manga project. Looks like it is a go. This is going to be fun.
In a nutshell, an independent publisher releases these manga anthologies to sell at the comic cons around the country. So she asked if my friend wanted in, he said yes and enlisted Sara to ink for him. They however needed a writer. That’s where I come in. Bry knew I was working on some writing projects, asked if I was interested and if so if we could meet up. I said sure.
The three of us went to a local diner and brainstormed for a couple of hours and came up with this really exciting idea. Not going to give anything away just yet, but we were really enjoying talking about it and very eager to get started. So eager, in fact, that Bryan was sketching up one of the figures while we were still there.
My job right now is to come up with brief synopsis of the story and treatments of the characters (more or less) and let them see it this weekend.
Also, I’ve noticed that my language and grammar seems a bit, well, proper. Forced. So starting now, I’m going to write somewhat looser. A more comfortable style, as it were.
