So, I'm writing an American manga series. How does one write a tv/comic book series? It's quite a puzzler for me. I ended up stretching classic, three point structure (beginning, ...

Not sure if you still need help but.... Watch the sentence structure. You can do a lot with varrying "he saids" with "John saids" and still maintain unconfusion/order. Mostly, it ...

*ahem It doesn't HAVE to introduce the conflict, setting, world, magic, etc, In fact it's probably better if it DIDN'T introduce the so forth and above. A prologue should be ...

Oh yeah, if it's the plot's action, then you might want to hold off on that. Starting off with action is great...but you need to introduce us to your protagonist's ...

Um, my question should be, when should you NOT start off the first chapter w/ action? Anything...talking, sitting, eating, that could be considered action, so it would be aplicable to ...

Oh yeah guys, thanks for your replies! I forgot to ask: What feelings do you have toward the names "Riem" and "Shaft" conversly? What do those names connote?

Well... I only have two other names for the series right now: Hinata: Romantic interest Jaq: An insane, minor antagonist "Ace" is b/c he's a weapons contracter...and the assassin organization ...

So, I've got a guy with three names. Ace: his assasin alias thing as a member of an assassin organization. ;) Riem: His real name. I know how I pronounce ...

I am a plotter--but only b/c ideas usually come to me so fast I HAVE to write them down that instant...and that isn't possible to do b/c I write relatively ...

Hrm...I've got a guy w/ 4+ names! Is that bad? I'm wondering... Here's the deal: he lost his memory, so obviously he doesn't remeber his real name. (No one's around ...

Um...lot of cussing here, but it doesn't make the story interesting, or make me want to read more. (It even sort of got annoying after a while.) This is your ...

Wow, this is addicting...but not entirely accurate. Think about it, it takes spelling, punctuation, and length of words and comes up with a grade score on that. For example, I ...

You have to admit though, a glacier next to a green, lush, forest would look freaking awesome!! (And I printed this out, I'm currently world building, thanks so much!...I follow ...

Dreams and flashbacks at beginning? BAAAAd idea. Also, start fresh with dialogue! (I like to do that, at least...but only sometimes) And DON'T say, whatever you do "It was a ...

Oh yeah, sorry, grammar confusion there^^^ I meant western is easier to learn than English...a LOT easier. (but then, I learned as a kid so...) Even though english may not ...
