As I sit here at my day job, staring at a spiral notebook, wanting to scribble notes and form a basic script of ANY KIND...I have nothing. Not a goddamn thing. Writing is not always easy. Even for those of us that write as easily as we breathe, even if it is random and occaisionally incoherent to others. Boredom is the ultimate killer of motivation. The more bored you are, the less motivated you are to do anything. That includes writing. The irony is that when you're busy or having a good time, you think of all kinds of shit to write down and you usually realize you forgot your notebook to write down your ideas. It's a sick game. Despite having a few tweaks to do on one arc in the webcomic (we're even narrowing the title down! YAY!) I don't have the motivation this early in the day to wake up and work on it. On top of that, there aren't enough calls to get me to wake up enough to have the energy to work. The calls I do get, haven't had anything about them worth making fun of in comic form.
Frog and I have spent quite a bit of time working on this, and we're hoping to begin posting in late July. Frog's working out the last few character designs. Chaz is going to be working as website boy/colorist. Since this is our first step into the realm of "professional" comic work (though nowhere near the last), don't expect the beginning to be great. What it will be is promising. This is the first step, testing the water, preparation to take the plunge. We all have other things we're working on. The other things are more violent/dark/meaningful and much less humorous. This is our outlet for our sarcasm. Our smartassery. Our being US. Now, there will still be witty, smartass one liners in our serious stuff, I'm sure, but nothing like this. After all, the other stuff is going to be action/sci-fi/drama stuff and this is pure comedy. Okay, maybe not PURE comedy. A little bit of comedic spoofing of action/sci-fi/drama stuff will be worked in. But, hey, who doesn't like comedies with Jedi?
