My issue with plot-driven stories is that they get too predictable. I can't count the number of romantic dramas where about 3/4 of the way through the storyline the female MC gets kidnapped and the male MC comes to rescue her and their big resolution of issues happens in a hospital room. I can see…
Anyone want to share their tips, or creative style? I feel like mine is a bit plain, not fancy at all lol. Sometimes I plan out, sometimes I work on the fly. It all depends on how much inspiration I have. If I come up with too many ideas to keep track of that I can't write out fast enough, I'll ma…
No problem, I hope you can find something that will work out for you! 
I wrote a novel last summer, and have just begun publishing my first comic. Some things to consider: It can be difficult going from prose to comic book writing. Even when I'm doing more showing than telling, I write these scenes and then go "that's way too many things to draw." So then I have to g…
I do both. First of all, I am a writer that is also an artist. I enjoy writing books as I can express myself more freely. When it comes to my novel, while I have many illustrations for it already, I made a mini-comic series to accompany it. I don't actually want to have a full blown comic, as I am e…
I have struggles with the feeling of not good enough for a long time before I eventually got my comic off the ground. At the end you are going to have to reach a point of F*** it! I am just going to do it. Because nothing will ever be good enough, there will always be places to improve and fix, and …
Hi all! I'm excited to share a new section added to our help section, meant to help new creators and those who want to freshen up on their knowledge around creating and growing their series. Read the articles here! . [image] . . . Article overview: Before you create a new Series - Tips & …
I enjoyed the experiences with both but for different reasons. It's a totally different medium so it is a different set of skills, although there is overlap. I felt like there were more resources on here for making a comic work than making a novel (since it's mostly a comic site) but because the eng…
I agree with what has already been said by @elyss and @ninjashira ! Also, if you absolutely want to draw, you can maybe create an illustrated novel?
I also agree with starting out with a short comic. Don't give yourself a deadline or a schedule or anything, but see how long it takes you to complete those pages, what the final result looks like, how happy you are with the end result. From there, you can calculate how long it would take it to do a…

I was where you where around this time last year. I decided to put my novel on hiatus and jump into making comics again. I made a short story exploring one of the characters further and am in the process of finishing up the script. My recommendation is to take on a small comic project and approach…
