Trying to learn the Tango, but getting it confused with the Cha-cha.
That is the best summary that I can come up with about writing this script. The images are coming across strongly, which is always a bonus, but finding the correct order to put them in can be time consuming.
Literally when I'm writing, I can be akin to an Arabian, fast and with plenty of stamina, but largely when I'm "dumping" words to the page, they can get jumbled. Going back, reading it over and trying to perfect what it is that I'm trying to convey is the most time consuming business. Then I'll find little gaps and holes in the action that could use filling and finally make sure the whole thing flows with ease.
Of course I have to make sure everything is perfectly clear for the artist who would be working on this. That is the most important function a script has to offer. Whereas a screenplay would offer just the barest necessities to convey the action, a graphic novel needs specifics. That's where I do the Cha-cha...whereas I've gotten the gist of the idea down already, I need to fill it in with the specifics for the artist to work with.
Also has the interesting side effect of turning what could be a 120 page screenplay into a phone book.
