The Struggle Pt.3
Kissing Chaos has had its fair share of "big" moments, melodrama and the like. But I always wanted to emphasis the moments in between the plot driving story devices and "action" sequences. This was in essence the very nature of Kissing Chaos, or at least what I'm intending for the series, to illustrate the balance between the quiet times, and the hectic lines of life.
With sweet nothings my goal was to create a story comprised solely of these in-between moments. With my inspired brainstormed scene as its nucleus, I planned to construct a complete narrative, from scenes with little or no connection at all.
Partially inspired by the concept that we read words as a whole, not as individual letters, (a theory put forth by researchers at Cambridge University) I wanted to experiment, and apply that theory to narrative. Do we read stones as a whole, slamming over the scenes to get a sense of the sum of the parts of any given story? Could this be why we find most fiction today utterly predictable? Are we speed reading/ watching our movies and books?
I wanted to see if I could construct a complete narrative, based on jumbled scenes that if read on their own, would not be considered a logical, linear story.
With the first completed draft of the sweet Nothings one shot, I felt I had accomplished that feat. But when l was about 80% complete with the art, I got struck with the nerves, and refused to release the book until I was Satisfied with the art. Yeah, I'm dumb.
Plus, I felt flat the renders deserved even more, so I orchestrated an online supplement, to be read simultaneously with the printed comic. As l kept adding to the story, I realized I had blown things way out of proportion, and was completely up the Creek, sans paddle.
