Script Frenzy

Last november was a big succes when I found that I could write 50.000 pages in 30 days. So when I heard about Script Frenzy in April where people try to write 100 pages script in 30 days I thought it would be fun to try that too. Especially when I learned you could also write comic scripts and I almost finished my current storyline of Willy and Evita!

Already I have a plotted a plotline and I can tell you a little bit about it:
- Tom will be the main character and Willy and Evita important supporting caste.
- They will be a bit older, around 11 or 12.
- There will be Go in it.

As some of you know, I play a lot of go. I started playing go after watching and reading Hikaru no Go, a Japanese anime/manga about a boy starting to play go and slowly he becomes one of the best youth players in Japan.
I've been wanting to make a comic about go too. Even though there are already a lot of little joke comics about go, like "Empty Triangle". And at the Go Centre they have Japanese comic books that explain the story, oh and I have the first episode of one in Korean.

But I can't seem to make short jokes about go. And those comics to explain go are all fine, but the story isn't very important there. I liked Hikaru no Go because the characters were fun and the story was interesting and you got to know the Japanese Go world bit by bit. I want to write (and draw) a story like that.

So that's what I'm going to try to do. Except of course Tom, Willy and Evita will be learning go in the Netherlands and more specifically in The Hague, probably *grins* I might even cameo myself and some of my club mates. At least the whole organisation will be in it! I'll have to be careful people are not too recognisable and work mainly with types. But I'm excited to start writing.

I have a plot, at least for the first part. I think it can be a long story. There will be love, rivalry, exciting matches and disappointment, new adventures and they'll meet all kinds of people.

Oh, and Midna (my cat) wants to be in it too... Though I hope she'll refrain from more input like the one she had last time (check out page 28 of the dream story, on the moving van "laadklep", the thing that comes down and that you walk on, you can see the mark of two of her nails when she tried to sharpen them on my pages...)
