potential TPoH spoilers in theses! don’t read if you’re not up to date folks

I always have people asking if I write a script for TPoH ahead of time and the answer is… sort of. I have this car crash of a ‘gist list’ for the whole story written out, and these are parts that you’ll recognise if you’ve read the comic. As you can see it’s very informal and in fact some of these events happen in a different order from what’s written down here, but that’s because I like to keep the spontaneity of the comic hopping by almost avoiding planning as much as i can. I thumbnail the visuals of each chapter in advance, but I stop when I’ve done the chapter because I know I will keep improving as I go and I don’t want to trap myself with old work, which maybe sounds dumb but hey it’s worked for the past 6-7 years. it also avoids me getting bored/frustrated with not having reached a bit, rather it makes me look forward to reaching it even more! anyway I still can’t draw but I figure this might give you a giggle and a bit of an insight into my very bizarre writing process.

also don’t take all the things written here too seriously/deeply bc I mayyy have changed some concepts around/thought of a better thing between writing this and getting to that actual bit in the story :Tb
