On Friday Ms. Backus and I talked again about the future of the graphic "novel". At this point it seems highly unlikely that I will finish 60+ pages like I originally planned. A much better goal, I think, is to finish one "chapter" - about 15 - 20 pages.
As I've learned, most manga artists don't actually publish directly into volumes, but rather in a weekly magazine first. They write and illustrate one chapter every week - so basically, it takes them five whole days (drawing is their full-time job, of course) to produce one chapter.
I obviously don't have the same amount of time, but I think if I devote this month to finishing a "chapter", it's definitely a goal I can reach.
