By Reimena Yee So it starts tomorrow.
I know I have been yakking on about "Getting Away from Social Media and Building My Own Island on the Internet" since the early and not-so-long-ago days of this blog -- but this time, I finally have the opportunity to walk the talk.

By Reimena Yee I was talking to a friend in our Group Chat the other day, and he asked if any of us had any recommendations for a system that'd help him organise the research for his food culture graphic novel. It reminded me that the system I used has changed in the past year, and besides, it's time to make an addendum on the How I Do Research for Graphic Novels post. So here it is. An update of sorts.

By Reimena Yee Hello hello! I've got two author interviews for yall to read... to make up for the total silence of this blog (sorry! I'll probably be more active by October).

I wish it would be more normalized for cartoons to not always have kids as the main characters. When I was little I grew up with shows like Batman TAS, TMNT etc and I never was upset that the show didnβt have kids in it. (I know the π’ are teens but they donβt look like kids LOL) https://twitter.com/thecartooncrave/status/1383088877880107011
Didn't see this till now! At least, vaguely know your beginning, middle and end, and outline in batches.
@reimenayee How far into the story did you go when outlining your webcomics? What I mean is how many chapters in advance were outlined :)
Reminder that I have a website https://reimenayee.com and a blog https://blog.reimenayee.com for a decently active archive of my artwork and behind-the-scenes thoughts on craft, life and other things. Plus resources!!
I found that period of my life between ages 17 - 20 more impactful than preceding years, since it involved starting a new chapter independently, meeting new people outside of my bubble, lots of milestones, so why is this not explored more commonly in fiction and autobio?
