Anonymous asked: Hey, Mod!! I really like the way you write dialogue in your comics, It's just so good and natural and fun to read.. I've always struggled with writing good dialogue for comics, do you have any tips that could help me? (P.S. I hope you're having a nice day!!!)
don’t think about it too hard! and by that I really mean don’t tell characters what to say; if you’re having a hard time thinking what they would say, try having an imaginary conversation with them yourself! how would they naturally respond to you? then, how would they naturally respond to the other person in the dialogue you’re planning? do they have any words they avoid, or use a lot? do they have beef with this person? do they like them but don’t want that to be obvious? how does this affect how they talk? you, as an author, are not a part of their conversation- you are just there to document it. overthinking and over-planning can lead to stilted and unrealistic interactions between characters, so just try to let them do the talking for you
a lot of my writing is done with my eyes shut sitting still just trying to get myself out of the way and considering how my characters would feel and react to the situations I’ve put them in; the only way to learn how to write dialogue is by learning how to listen (also gosh thank you! :’D I will keep trying to improve and I hope you have a nice day too!)

Anonymous asked: Hey, I've wanted to ask this for a while now but I always forgot or just kept on putting it off, but are you going to finish your stories in SKIP? Like The Princess and the Jester, or C.L.I.P? Because I REALLY like them and I'm sure a bunch of other people like them as well. It's okay if you don't, like you're too tired or you just lost interest, but I've always wanted to know if you planned on continuing them or not. (I like your Story Purpose too, I'm just wondering more for SKIP)
I really am sorry about the huge delay on those, and the answer is I absolutely AM GETTING BACK TO THEM- I have the next three pages of TPatJ sketched out and I was hoping to get them done this week, but as it seems I’m hightailing it to visit my sister for three days minimum I really don’t know if that’s possible on top of getting TPoH done and I’ve been really sick and aaaargh what is time management
basically I am awful but I will. Get back to those. Also I will go back to C.L.I.P. but only after TPatJ is done because good grief I really gotta squirrel that one away
