When characters take on a life of their own
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Sept. 17, 2021
As I was unwinding by absent-mindedly scrolling through Twitter, I happened upon a tweet asking if other writers/creators experience creating characters who take on a life of their own, and it got me to thinking. Recently I had drafted two scripts for one of our comics, only to then ...
