Had to spend some time today working out the dialogue for this new scene from my crude outline. Or maybe I should say “scribbling out” since I recently discovered I enjoy the whole script process more if I can write it out with a pen–although this is probably mostly because I try to keep my computer off during the day to avoid getting distracted by the internet. >_> So if I can have the script on a sheet of paper next to my drawing table, that's pretty handy! This started happening (instead of me squinting at the typed script on my cell phone) because late one night I had the inspiration for the latter half of the previous scene, at the bar there, and just grabbed a pen and scribbled it down on whatever was handy, which happened to be the back of the bill for the nice new shipping boxes I send A* art off in:

That is some pro script writing there! >_> If you can read that, I'm a little worried for you. But I can mostly decipher it (“high power” is duplicated twice because today I wanted to make sure I was using the same pen for the latest scrawling ;) so it worked out pretty well. For this next scene, I did type the lines out on the computer first today, but then I wrote them out on more scrap paper (the backs of some non-mandatory insurance questionnaire forms :) so I can keep them right next to me as I draw. They are written even more illegibly!
