November begins in a little less than 3.5 hours, which means I'm that close to throwing myself at my first original comic. I don't have any prepared model sheets, all I have is the mental image of the characters in my head and a basic story plotline. This is due to the spirit of NaNo: creative abandon. To pour out 50,000 words in 30 days, regardless of quality. It's meant to teach you to just DO it, to get the words out and finish. You're supposed to become so desperate to make the quota that you write anything that comes to mind; the panic will force you to churn out plots and turns of phrase you would never in your sane normal state of mind commit to actual type.

My biggest fear isn't making the quota--or rather my version of it, since I'm drawing 50 pages instead of typing 50,000--but spending all this time and creative energy on something that turns out to be crap. I believe my story idea is solid, and the two people I've told about it agree and find it very interesting. I respect both of their opinions on stories, so at least I don't have to fear about my concept. No, the big question is how well I execute that idea. I might literally execute it and go down in a sad trickle of most decided UNglory, or I might pull this off and produce something I can be proud of.

I'm really hoping to manage the latter. ^^;;;

To ensure I actually make my quota of 1.67 pages a day, I will be drawing them on Usagi (fun computer) as I do paid work with Tsukushi (work computer). Normally I pre-letter on Usagi in the morning and afternoon, saving drawing on her until that's done, but not this month. For once, personal art will come first...sort of. Gotta letter manga to pay the bills.

*gulp* Well, hell. *deep breath*

BANZAIIII!!!!!
