Also I just met Sam today, he's a senior in my grade who did personal project like us last year. It was really fun and helpful meeting him, especially knowing that he also produce a graphic novel the same as me for his pp last year. He gave me alot of useful tips, here are examples of some that I asked him to send me through email in case I need future references:





I was really just, tensed and nervous when he talked about the process he had to do throughout his personal project, and it was a huge amount.. If you ever came up to me and ask if Im going to be able to finish  my comic on time, even if I said yes, there are still some voices back in my head keep reminding me that I wont. It feels like an impossible mission right now, I really want it to be great, I want myself to produce something that I am proud of from the plot to the drawing. I have enough pages on my hand already, but the problems are
               - it's too messy I have to fix alot of things
               - I need the plot to flow
Right now, I dont think it is, what I supposed to do is a one-shot, instead I made the actual comic with actual volumes and chapters. Since I thought to myself, I am not even great at writing story, so I can simply produce any reasonale plot or ending, I will just make up as I go. It seems very irritating to me now as everything is just too messy, I jump from a horror scene right away to a detective scene to a fighting scene AHAHHAHA. It makes sense in my head, but isnt it too much for the reading, shouldnt I just keep to a point and stop jumping to everything I like. I think the thing is, I am very selfish at a point I want to do everything. And a basic human being isnt capable of being great at everything, I should have just focused on one thing rather than everything. Now what I need to focus is getting chapter 2 finished and then I will make final version for everything it should flow perfectly.
I am doing a robot fighting, I should try to finish that quickly as possible and get back to the real plot which everything makes sense. I have 50 pages of comics and 15 pages of thank you, menu, blah blah blah
I think that I have all these cool ideas but I myself dont know how to execute it well. But then again, when I think about the idea, I think about how a professional would make it, then totally forgot I am an amateur and lacking so much necessary skills
