I'm very curious to hear how you structure your comics. Do you start with having the full story thought out? Do you just wing it? If you wing it, what do you do when you run out of ideas or you have continuity problems?

Personally, I started Decaf as an AU of another comic, and it was just a few sketches and a comic page for fun, but then I started brainstorming story ideas with one of my friends, and it was so fun that I decided to draw the whole comic. The details of the story have changed a little bit, but I work with a full story in mind (I know how it starts, what the climaxes are and how it's gonna end). However I don't script it, and I just write the dialogue as I get to it, I don't have the scenes written down anywhere. When I came to the third chapter, I just sorta knew I was about half way.

How do you do it?
