A Boulder On My Road


"We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" 2 Corinthians 4:8-9

     I have found myself at a bit of a writer's block. Currently looking at my storyline from different perspectives, talking with my close friends and otherwise working on this one spot I seemed to have snagged at. It's a really tricky spot, as it does reveal to the reader just how close the community is within the kingdom I begin the story in, as it does happen to be a floating mountain in the middle of an ocean. Also, let me set this record down, no my story is not based upon Avatar: The Last Air Bender or any other such story.
     The idea that my story takes place on a planet and moves around the globe may make it seem similar, but it is not based off of or even taken from it. It does not revolve around a singular character that changes the world, it will move through stories that interlink. Much like a tapestry where every string touches but continues on to other strings. Though this way of story telling does happen to make things trickier for myself, as I am making this comic and with some help from friends and family.
     The above sketch is one of the characters, I have also displayed another character before just didn't make mention of him.

     As for where I am in panel planning and panel sketching, I kind of become lost. I edited the prologue to be more suitable for the story and better for the reader, but I am also editing another part within the story which bumps the panel counting up higher and is taking time away from panel sketching as I work more on the planning. I have progressed, but as stated before I am in a struggle as well.
     Thus is how my road goes, even I come across boulders in my path. With God's help, the boulder will roll out of the way and I can continue on.

     I pray to see you again come Sunday, and perhaps I will have overcome the struggle to get back to progressing. If I have not, I will be doing lots of perspective viewing, poking and prodding to get past it.
