In addition to my other writing projects, which I can barely keep track of as it is, I also have an itch to write a graphic novel. I enjoy graphic novels and comic books, even though my library of such isn’t all that large. I have the entire Sandman series, of course, every trade paperback of Fables which has been published to date, and a few others. I’m not a huge fan of superhero comics. I have exactly one Superman comic, the Dark Knight series from the 80s, and a few others. I do like supernatural stuff, and mythical stuff, so if I ever created a graphic novel, it would be more along those lines.

The idea of creating a graphic novel sounds neat. I think the format restrictions would be an interesting challenge to work with. On the other hand, two difficulties present themselves:

1. I have no idea what to write about; and,
2. I can’t draw worth a damn.

Neither challenge is insurmountable, of course. Artwork-wise, I’d have to find someone who’d be willing to draw and whose art could fit with my own vision. I mean, I can draw, to the point where the people I draw are noticeably people and not just stick figures,

As for what to write… Well, nothing suggests itself immediately, so I’ll just throw a bunch of ideas at my brain and see what sticks, if anything. My zombie elf story might be an interesting little project to translate for a first project. Hm.

We’ll see what happens. It’s not like I’m going to have time to work on something anytime soon.
