New horizons

I'm pretty excited to say that I'm only 12 pages away from finishing Guerra + Santa! This will be the first time I write a complete comic from beginning to end, so I can't help look forward to it. I've learned many things while writing this story, and I'd like to think I've improved as well.

And now, as the end of this story comes closer, I can't help wonder, what story shall I tell after this one?

I've come to realise something: I don't work nearly as hard as I could on my stories. I mean, they're not bad, they're ok- they don't have major plot holes, they're full of emotion and thought. But the other day something got me thinking, how far could I push my imagination to go?

I often find myself thinking about how to make my stories even better these days, to the point that I've dreamed about it (in my dreams, I'm telling my friends about my ideas for stories, and they give me some feedback). I've decided to discard some stories in order to start again from a scratch. I believe this will help me both write better stories and also leave behind the emotional attachment that ties me to them.

When I started writing Boy X Sword I had some pretty creative ideas regarding the characters and the overall setting. But now I've come to think that I could write even more unusual things. Reading Hellboy has also inspired me to give more and more thought to the small details.

I don't consider myself an outside-the-box thinker; in fact, I try to be a practical person and that makes me kind of narrow-minded in some aspects. But I still think I could give my plots some cool twists and interesting turns of events.

But anyway, first things first: I must finish writing G+S! Once I'm done with it, I'm sure I'll let you guys know what projects I might start working on.

Good luck!
