			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve just about finished tweaking this comicpress theme.  It&#8217;s not exactly how I want it yet, but it&#8217;s G.E.F.G.W., as they say.  I&#8217;m sure there are a few errors, and I am not 100% convinced that I like the color scheme&#8230; I suppose it will get a tweak or two when I get chances.</p>
<p>The script-writing is coming along.  I&#8217;ve written and revised the first 7 pages to the point that I am satisfied with them and am not looking back.  Now, it just remains to lay them out on the paper and see just how horribly wrong I&#8217;ve been about how much dialogue and action my own meager skills can actually communicate on the page.  I&#8217;ve got dialogue for the next 2 pages (which are, in fact, almost entirely dialogue), but I am not sure that I should interject 2 pages of pure dialogue at this point in the story.  I think I will trim it down.</p>
<p>Having just read the first four parts of Warren Ellis&#8217; <a href="http://www.freakangels.com/" target="_blank">Freakangels</a>, I was struck with how little dialogue there actually is in that comic&#8230;  I suppose it&#8217;s the &#8220;less is more&#8221; concept.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to try and strike a balance, I think. I am sure it will be crap, but oh well.</p>
<p>Regarding Freakangels, it&#8217;s entertaining but not much has happened yet.  The first four parts so far, released once a week, have mostly been setting up some background and introducing a few characters, and not much else.   Of course, because it&#8217;s Warren Ellis, there are a lot of eyes on it.  I am not particularly familiar with his style, so maybe this is par for the course.  I mostly read his blog, rather than his comics.</p>
