Green Room - Week 24 - Day 4

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Hello.

It's interesting because the closer we get to summer, the slower LJ tends to get. There are times over the past couple of years that it feels like my personal friends list has completely shut down. There are times, even now with the general LJ slow down, that I have to go back several pages every day to catch up. There are also times when I only have one.

Is it just me or is everyone else experiencing LJ slow down? I guess that's a selling point to get new people into Idol! A guarantee of quality new content every week from some amazing writers!!!

Speaking of:
Another day. Another link to the topic post: http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/333370.html

So how are you doing? Lost-ing tonight? Glee-ing? Something else-ing?

Is that just because the competition is tighter now though, or because you're wanting to develop your comics more?

It's definitely because of the competition; I don't think development has very much to do with length. But one page of comics is really only enough to write a brief observation, and I don't feel like that would be a really viable entry at this point in the competition. I feel like people should be expecting more and I want to be able to show that I can write different types of stories and not just quirky one-liners.

Fair enough! I do think it helps show your versatility, anyway. And I think it's helped strengthen your voters' decision to keep voting for you :)

Yeah-- I don't think "more" always means quantity, but comics are so short as far as how much story can be told in a given area that I feel like I need to write longer ones if I want to try different things.

Well, you could always swap length for more colour, too ;) (What can I say, I'm a sucker for your coloured comics)
