You probably don't care about this but I need to say it anyways

Most of you have probably not read my measly start of an enormous story, a fantasy work called Laimrota, that I posted in three parts as the prologue.

I'm sad to say, however, I won't be posting more. Not that I have given up on writing this monster of a project, I just won't be using words.

I was fairly (and still am) new to this kind of site, as I don't usually read literary works on the internet. I love literature, of course, but I usually go for physical books. I hate having to comment on someone else's work. Art is personal.

But that's aside from the point, as what I'm trying to say is I read webcomics on the net. Like comic books (Tintin or stuff like that, although this resembles manga a lot more), but they're usually drawn by university students or young uns like that, posted on the internet as hobbies (although the making of a webcomic is not to be taken lightly, as it involves an enormous amount of work since usually you're on your own to do all the drawing, editing, finishing, posting, bla bla bla, hence "hobby" is an unfitting term. Anyways the authors are extremely rarely (I've never heard of it happening) published or get any money out of it. It's worth it though).

Ahem, yes, so to be blunt I'm going to make a webcomic. You could say that's what my story originally is, as when I write I see images as if I would draw them, and just use words to describe those images. I started writing Laimrota because I never believed I could draw, nor could I for the fact. But I never really stopped trying and I've gotten a lot, lot, better. And when I started writing and posted the prologue I just got very frustrated.

It's crazy, I have no idea how I'll find the time to make this happen, I'm going to be working on improving my drawing like nothing I've ever done before, but I need to do this. I need to prove I have the guts and what it takes to write my own comic. To you guys, this would be around the same thing as getting published. It's what I've wanted all along, and I will prove I can make it happen.

A comic might seem a little silly to writers, but please try to understand how important this is to me.

…sorry about the rant. I'm done now. I just really want to thank all who have read my little prologue and especially those few who commented, and apologize to those who hate me because they won't get to know the rest. I would have directed you to where you might be able to find the comic, but I won't start posting it till a lot. lot later because as I said I seriously need to work on my drawing and I'm, sad to say, very slow.

For now I'll probably leave he prologue where it is. I'll have to delete it when I start posting, though. And I'll still be here to read the works of users I'd started to follow.

Thank you.

Wow, love the idea of a webcomic, let us know when it's up and running. Comics can be a really powerful form, good luck with it.

 

thank you for encouraging me, I really look forward to being able to say "it's up and running", and I'll give all I have to make it happen - Sova

Sova, I want to just add, due to health, which I do not long to bore people with, so wont he he. I cannot stay sitting, lying or reading e.t.c for more than 5 minutes at any one time, so although my favorite line was....... The sky was a rolling mass of shifting gray, pouring rain in rippling sheets over the grass and fences and low thatched roofs. I had to read over and over again like I do many great writers, like yourself on here, but often forget to add comments by the time I have read stories 3 or 4 times the same ones, but your talented so well done.

o.O wow. Thanks. I'm really glad you liked my writing… Since I also am a literature fan, I don't think they're won't be ANY work with words in my story. I hope to be able to incorporate both good drawing and some nice writing. thanks - Sova
