Hello! =)
I'm currently working on a new writing project that will eventually be an online comic. That was the whole point of the original plot. My question is, should I write the story in a script format or book format? I started writing it in book format, but after I started thinking about it, I kind of got myself in a corner where I'm not quite sure which way would be best.
A book format allows me to ease into the plot.
A script format lets me focus more on the characters than the world around the characters.
I'm more experienced in the book format than the script one. I might spend too much time trying to get the format to look correct. But, if I can get the first draft finished in a script format I can get the second draft done more quickly and then my friend can look it over and tell me what would and wouldn't work in a comic.
If I do end up going with a script format, can I get some tips on working with that sort of format. I've heard of programs that make script writing really easy, but the only ones I've seen are too complex or are too expensive.
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated! I should decide this soon or I'll never start writing it. xP
