Hehe, I think our stories have a lot in common in that regard xD mine also started as a stupid but fun one-pager but now, after around 4 1/2 years I'm over 150 pages and going. The only thing I really planed out, are the climaxes, also the ending and some important points in between. The rest I come up, as I go. Even some last minute side characters aren't that rare xD I do have a booklet where I write some ideas in. Like a conversation I realy want to include but it isn't time jet.

What I do though is thumbnailing, when I feel like it. I basicly draw the scenes on some scrap paper, so I don't have to experiment on the nice paper (I draw traditionally) and to keep the flow going. Before I was kinda "scared" to continue as I didn't want to do something I have to change again. I lost a lot of time that way. With the scrap-ones I can just toss them out and draw the scene new, doesn't even take a minute.
