Who's afraid of the big bad Woolf? Being ADC #4

Part the fourth in my ongoing story development blog: Being ADC.


So, previously, I was wondering if I should make the main character from the pseudo autobiographical book/comic that I'm working on Asian, to reflect my own Asianness. I was also stuggling with the fact that with both publisher and film interest in the story, I've been stressing the writing of the story, which is normally fodder for my diary/journal. That means it's usually for MY EYES ONLY.


Currently, I have yet to decide to make the dude asian or not. Haven't really thought about it, and will probably only deal with that once I do some character designs for the comic. I realize this is a decision that could impact the story a great deal, I just haven't come to terms with making this story truly about me. It's based of all true events in my life, only a mashup of my memories. It's quite literally taking one memory, replacing the people with people from another memory, and letting the story play out.


Perhaps I'm too chicken shit to just write the story of my life, as is.


Re: the stress of this project.


Let's just say I spent three weeks writing one conversation.


I don't know why, but I dig this track. Okay, I know why, but I'm not telling. ;p



In other news. I want to grow my hair long, but it's so hot during the summer, I keep shaving the sides to keep cool. So now I have a weird mohawk thing, and I'm stuck.
