Page 1 of I don't know how many

For STAC I'm working on a graphic novel project, and while I'm not the best artist in the world I think it's coming together nicely. I got the first page done and It's better than I expected. I like the manga type style

FEAR

Fear is the feeling we get that counters success. Many people accuse fear of being the determent to our success, however fear is a very vital part of our society. Fear is the emotion, while the cause of fear is always anticipated failure. In any situation there is something we hope to accomplish, a goal. To balance this out we have a failure so that the goal becomes visible. Without failure the goal would be invisible and would simply seem like a a step forward but not a step up. Fear pushes us to reach for the goal. We see the possible failure and we don't want to go there, instead we go up. However if there is too much fear it could prevent us from even going forward, we might even end up avoiding the choice. Fear is a fear of failure. If we fear failure too much, we begin to fear the choice.

What we need to do is to overcome this fear. Once we overcome the fear of failure, everything will be guarantied to be better. With all that failure juxtaposing the goal, it will make the goal seem even better when it is fulfilled. If you do fail, you will remember it. And the purpose of memory is for us to learn from. We learn from what we have done wrong to improve ourselves if we ever face a similar encounter again. That is wisdom; wisdom is how to improve ourselves. Wisdom is the key to getting past fear. Even if you don't have enough wisdom, just take the extra step and get wisdom whether you fail or not.

Take for example, confessing your love. The fear is the fear of rejection, the wisdom will be all your past experiences with that person and with love in general, the failure is getting rejected, and the success is him/her saying yes. Everything can be boiled down to example and can be analyzed but if you don't act, there is no point in analyzing it.

Stress Week

With AP's coming to a close, I'll finally be able to get back on track with what ever I've been working on. Regarding my most of my projects, I've managed to get some sporadic writing in ever so often. Specifically I've gotten 16 pages planned out while I have an idea on what to do with the rest of the pages. For all this work I'm going to need to train in drawing, which is exactly what I've been doing with a new 365 that I've accidentally stumbled into where I draw a picture each day. Each picture takes roughly an hour to complete, and if I rush it takes 30 minutes. This will hopefully teach me how to draw better. I hope to get a lot of writing done in the next week and maybe get all the pages planned out for the entire thing. which will span some 30 pages maybe.

Planning

In STAC I have to make a project, a graphic novel. I've decided on a plot and I've started mapping out pages. At the moment it looks very much like a Japanese manga but read left to right instead of right to left. My planning has been going well and it is actually much more fun than I expected. From what I have started doing, everything that the main character thinks will be box less, talking will be in speech bubbles and boxes will contain visuals. Sound effects will be inside the visual boxes without anything surrounding them. I've really only set these guidelines out as a basis, I might break them later but for now this is what I'm going with. The general story line is that someone (Main Character) is sent back in time 1 year, and he has to repeat that year. Now he has to restart and redo his past for better or worse.
