No Class Next Week!

There is apparently no class next week because it will be Registration Day.

This should not affect your process work, however. You definitely need to get going on your book, particularly seeking out other works that look similar, are about the same story, or are otherwise examples to help guide you on what is being published and selling.

You should also use the time to sketch out your settings, any interior and exterior locations, and characters.

By the next time we meet, you should have a clear grasp of how things will look. Worked up from thumbnails to color sketches and any needed detailing. Your process should reflect the consideration for why things look the way they do in your story.

We will still be doing the half-size working book dummy in class in two weeks, so don't worry about pacing your story just yet, I want to go over that in class with you then. For now, just do the foundation research. The more you chew on it at this stage, the easier it will be later to use these pieces together in telling the story.

I will be happy to meet with you before next class if you feel you need it, just email me to let me know. When you are added to the blog list, you can also put up your work here to get and give your feedback as well.
