Writing Quotes by Jessica Abel

Jessica Abel

Cartooning is completely different from other media: it is closely related to film and prose, other narrative forms, but the skills needed to realize a story are very different, and include not only drawing and writing dialogue and narration, but graphic design and the ability to depict time passing visually. It’s a whole suite of skills that has to go into making a comics page, skills that are quite distinct from those that go into writing a page of prose, or making a film.

I can certainly be surprised by turns a story takes, but usually not once I’m actually in the writing/drawing stage. In the plotting stage, anything can happen. That’s why I try to finish that part before I start writing. I may be exaggerating here – I’m sure there are times when I think of something part-way through that changes the story, but the ultimate outcome doesn’t change. Or not yet. It could always happen.
