jeriendhal | Damsels and Dragons: Progress Report

Wrote up six more strips (about three week's worth), giving me a total of thirteen, or six and a half weeks of strips all in all. I'm going to stop writing, at least for a while, until I can get some input form Peta about where the story is going.

I guess I'm too serious a writer, but coming up with funny ha-ha gags is not as easy for me as coming up with funny-situational irony humor. Every strip doesn't end on laugh, but there's at least some attempt at humor in all of them. Characterwise, Isolde is turning out to be far more cautious than I'd originally envisioned. I guess my prejudice against characters doing stupid things just to provide humor is actually working against me here. She hasn't been doing anywhere near as much yelling or b*tching as I'd originally anticipated.

Will send this latest batch off to Peta and wait to see what she thinks. I haven't heard anything from her aside from the initial exchange of notes we did, but then she's probably up to her eyeballs doing stuff on Terinu right now. Or knowing her, eagerly drawing up concepts sketches for DandD liek she said she wouldn't do until January... :)
