So i searched on Wiki and found some interesting readings , so ya work is kinda slow right now so what else do i do for fair shits and giggles. I hope to get some pointers for my own comic, but as well as i know myself i love to do things the UN-original way by myself... so i guess research and time is what i really need to focus on right now to get my comic written in full. Now i need an artist because the Great bad ass i tried to snag won't wake up from his procrastinated state. Wake the fuck up dude. And then there was silence....zzzz. Nope , no use. So ya back to the part of my comic and me needing a damn artist. I am an artist myself but i am by no means a comic artist it takes a degree of skill and accommodation of flow process to be great. Damn artist. Why must the greatest always be lost in feeling. Guess that is what makes them the near necessity of today's writers. The joy of it all when it comes to play.~
Sometimes stories come to me before going to sleep then i have to wake up and go and jot it down on some random paper and try to make it as clear and brief as possible, because for one i am going to be waking up in the morning wondering what the hell was i smoking if i don't make it clear as to what my point was and blah blah . Also #2 would be where did i lay it i usually lose it or end up washing the damn little "note to self" about some crazy ass storyline that could be an epic, BUT i just got done feeding it to my dryer, sweet don't ya love that. Anyways so ya i do have issues with remembering ideas or as i should say remembering to actually take time to write it down or finding a pen. WTF. I hate when i have to text message myself an idea of a character or idea period. Fun stuff . So ya that's what it's like to be me on a daily basis . My mind is out of control , my poor imagination i swear it has it's own secluded lil brain of it's own. yep . in fact it does lol. ok enough said ....

Writing a comic can only be achieved with a great idea, some spirit and ambition! It will take a long time to make comics at first, although you'll get much quicker as you keep working at it.
Steps
Brainstorm and think of a plot for your story. Don't make it too intricate, as you want to be able to make it quickly.
Once you have a solid idea thought out, flesh it out with characters. Make sure the characters are well adapted to their situation and that the details of the characters won't become difficult to manage in the context of the story later on.
Test out your characters in a specially created short story. Don't bother drawing it yet.
Work out a drawing style that you can continue to draw in for a long period, but that you like and that fits your story. Draw practice pages of random stories and people.
Draw out a short comic of your test story. Then see what you could do to make it better, and redraw it.
Now work on the final story and plot. Make sure it makes sense and that it, like the test story, fits the characters. Or expand upon your test story and mould that into the final plot/story.
Start drawing. Don't be hesitant to completely redo pages.
When you're done, you may want to ink and/or colour your comic.
If you feel like it, you could promote your comic and try to sell it to a publisher. But if you do, don't expect the going to be easy.
Tips
Collaborating with someone can help the process go faster and smoother.
Publishing your work on the web can have a lot of competition but it's the easiest and cheapest way to 'publish' your comic.
Ask friends, family, anybody, about flaws in your comic or things that should be added. Make sure you also ask what is good about it, and make sure those elements are strong in the comic. Ask many people, because answers are likely to vary.
One quick drawing style is to use "stick figures". You could just use them initially to get down your ideas. If you want to keep with stick figures, make sure that they are unique and interesting in the way that you portray them.
Warnings
Have the right motives. Don't try to write comics because you think it is a way to make some money or get recognition. If that is your reason for writing comics you will most likely end up disappointed and discouraged.
