I like the feature in my art program that allows me to see all the pages in progress at once.

Professional TV and film writers use a bulletin board with index cards to map out their stories - I've tried this a few times and it makes sense to me ...

Like the pic I found for this post? I personally LOVE what I see on this pic. Credits go to brazilian illustrator Marcelo Braga. He has a website where you can see this pic up-close in all of its glory, as well as more of his work HERE.

I've talked at times about how, as I make Without Moonlight, I have to constantly make choices on what to include and what not to from …reality.
