The Struggle Pt.2
Walking down Spadina Ave. in Toronto, I was struck with an idea. This idea grew into a scene, and it was this one scene that spawned the concept that would build steam and balloon into what I hoped Sweet Nothings will become when it is all said and done.
This scene featured Eric, Kim and Ashley from KC: NSB. This little short story also saw these characters walking down a cyber- punkish Chinatown street, just as I had been when I conceived the scene. The very moment I had finished jotting down the ideas into my sketch book, something about what I had written struck me. I felt that there was something more to this scene, that it was more brief moment in time for these characters. The sentiment that this one scene conveyed, echoed one of the themes that I had toiled through 2 KC mini-series to explore.
With this scene in hand, I set out the arduous task of writing a story that would center on this specific moment in time. But something, maybe a sort of writer's intuition, urged me to the belief that this scene had to exist on its own. This tiny glimpse of these character's lives, was meant to stand alone, in dependant of any further exposition, or even a set up (though KC NSB serves as set up aplenty). In previous KC Stories flashbacks played an important role as a storytelling device. However, I felt this one scene refused to be reduced to flashback status.
It didn't take me too long to figure out away to use this scene in away I felt kept its 'singularity', yet still tell a story in the traditional monthly comic format.
And don't think for a second that I'll reveal what scene this is, or where it will occur in KC: Sweet Nothings. I'm sure I've hyped it up to mythical proportions, that it in actuality will just be a letdown.
It'll be interesting to see it anyone will guess what scene it is when KC: SWEET NOTHINGS drops.
