On the off chance anyone’s still waiting for TNP to come out (wow, the ego on this guy…), I have a progress update. In the last few months, we saw the progress bar inch its way up as high as 1%. Well, it’s back to 0%. Because I have a fear of commitment or some shit, I guess. I basically decided to go in a different direction, as I could think of no reason for the story to exist as it was. So I dropped the “serious drama OMG” angle and am working on a new tack, which is pretty wildly different from a lot of the stuff I’ve done in the past. Hopefully “sucked hard” is one of the things that will change this time around. Between that and other various tweaks, what little script I had written is more or less useless. Alas, that page and a half.

See, this is why I wanted a complete script in hand before starting TNP. I have a bad habit of revising shit. Repeatedly. Ergo, I want to work out a decent script, and then draw the script as written, no exceptions. (Well, some exceptions.)

The good news is that I reread TA Pratt’s Marla Mason books, and the shift in tone will be very effective in halting TNP’s gradual trend toward being “Marla Mason: The Plagiarist Comic.” Not that such a thing wouldn’t be awesome. (Also, Amazon’d and sequel’d. Good books. You read them.)
