It's always difficult for me to get rolling on a new story, which is why we're doing these character bio episodes here for a while. (And honestly, it's good to see some of these characters again.)
The trouble isn't finding the inspiration, though it is about finding a good, fun idea. Like most, we end up digging back some of our past to come into play.
The tough part is putting the ideas and scenes together in some interesting, cohesive way. Dawna's a good hand at that. I come up with the concept and all kinds of things I'd like to create and write, and she helps me link them all together. While she doesn't write any individual episode, her handiwork is vitally important regardless.
While the new story has just begun, I do have a couple of strips finished.
I know, I know... "you've been running these bio strips for a couple of weeks now." Very true. But we've also been burning a ton of time just trying to get all of these book orders out AND work on the new story concept.
Sometimes a little break is helpful to clear the head.
Anyway, things are slowly falling into place, and you've only got 4 more Bios left before the new story starts.
