Writing a Graphic Novel with Storyist

[astillac]

I've promised a lot of people that I would draw/write a graphic novel, and since I only use Storyist (true!), I've got to figure out how to do that. I'm going to chronicle what works and what doesn't in case people come along later and want to do the same thing. A lot of this is going to seem asinine to non-comicers, but .... yeah.

 

So far, I'm thinking I'm going to start with a screenplay template and modify it for comic pages.

I'll do the art by hand, scan it, ink it in Painter, save it all in it's own folder with titles like PG_1_PN_1.jpg

That way, Comic Life can find it all in one place, and it's easy to slide in.

So far, trying to copy/paste text from Storyist into Comic Life has the curious property of making the text go vertical.
