My graphic novels are so far based on my own screenplays; they\u2019re completely hand-drawn, by me, and I\u2019ve also experienced that extremely steep learning curve that comes from being self-published and having to market and promote one\u2019s own work (though I understand that even if you\u2019re not self-published that\u2019s often the case). For me that last part has been not only steep but vertiginous, because though I\u2019ve created publicity for and happily promoted other people\u2019s work and events, it\u2019s different when doing that for oneself. It just is.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m still deciding whether to make <em>Queensgate<\/em> a trilogy as discussed in my last post. I can tell lately that it doesn\u2019t take me nearly as long to draw as it used to so once I get things mapped out more completely I\u2019ll be able to tell about that. One thing I have decided that will make the process more fun and fascinating is inviting other creative people to join me in this project. Writing is by definition a fairly solitary pursuit, and so is creating art and drawing, but even if you\u2019re the consummate loner, eventually someone has to see your work, comment on it, critique it, etc. If you\u2019re taking classes you have to at some point gather your nerves and present it to the class, or to your instructor\/ mentor, so it can\u2019t really be solitary forever, can it? Unless of course it\u2019s a journal, which is different.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Creating my graphic novels has been a very solitary pursuit, which is perhaps why then turning around and sending them out into the world was so daunting.<\/strong> I\u2019ve gotten past that now, and past the idea that I have to control every tiny detail. Here\u2019s a paradox: when I started adapting my screenplays into graphic novels after storyboarding my first short film, one of things that appealed to me about it was that I could \u201cdirect\u201d my story on paper, and oversee every detail, including set design and wardrobe, etc.\u2014but in making a movie, one of the most collaborative tasks in the world, there\u2019s a tremendous amount of creative input from others on the various aspects that make it complete.<\/p>\n<p>So, once again inspired by the world of cinema, my next graphic novel will be a collaborative effort.\u00a0 In fact, I\u2019m preparing to hold a fashion contest for new and emerging designers to style my characters, and for new and emerging interior and set designers to create places where the story will happen! In addition to getting unique perspectives on what my characters would wear and their spaces, I\u2019m excited about seeing what other people are doing, and how they perceive my characters\u2019 styles and tastes based on the drawings and descriptions I\u2019ll provide. Several of my characters are in the process of reinventing themselves, so this spring seems like the perfect time to give them fresh looks as they go forward.\u00a0 My plan is to ask people in fashion and interior design to be judges so that those who participate can get valuable feedback from professionals in each industry. I\u2019m looking forward to creating a community around this project, and to making creative connections that will hopefully carry on into the future. After going through a very solitary winter season of transition myself, the idea of expansion and emergence appeals to me a great deal right now, and I hope it will to others as well. It\u2019s a new season, and time to seek out a new way of doing things!<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019ll be launching this project soon so if you\u2019re interested, stop by my web site, <a title=\"http:\/\/www.nevada-mcpherson.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nevada-mcpherson.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.nevada-mcpherson.com<\/a> for news, and follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Google + and\/or Linked In for further updates.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Are you seeking out new ways of doing your creative work, or are you happy with your process and just ready to create a new project as spring begins?
