Check-In Post #1

The creation period is starting tonight! Each week, I'll make a new check-in post with a few optional discussion questions. You can use this post to update us on our progress, complain, celebrate, or talk to other participants! Also feel free to discuss each week's questions in our discord server.

Optional Discussion Questions:

1. How much planning do you do for your stories? Do you like to outline, or improvise? Do you fill out character sheets, draw maps, or do other story planning? Tell us about your process!

2. Do you find writing or art advice helpful? Tell us about your experiences with tutorials, guidebooks and classes, or recommend your favorite writing, art and comic resources here!

I usually don't outline anything, just write what comes to mind as it comes to mind. But for longer pieces, I may write the entire thing start to finish and then scrap it all and write the second draft pretending that I knew how it was going the first time. It generally makes for a pretty decent story.
