I am trying to write a story right now, with a Witch as the main character and a few other interesting creatures making the plot line a little more colorful and I’m not sure whether I should write it as a novel like I have already started or if I should strip it down and split it up into dialogue, box set up and character description and make it a comic book instead.
If I go with the novel I won’t be able to see my characters come to life on paper with images that everyone can agree on but I will be able to write more and create all the description I can about the characters. I can ramble on and have my voice truly tell the story. Also, if I create a comic book I need to find an artist I can work with you will add in their own flare while still meeting with my vision.
I could always try to do both, continue writing the novel as it is and also create a character description sheet for an artist and a time line with important plot points to help create panels for the idea of a comic book and perhaps that will allow me to follow in the footsteps of my literary hero; Laurell K. Hamilton with her bestselling novels of Anita Blake that have been turned into comic books for the fans to really see what she wants those hunks to look like.
Well I have plenty of time to ponder this over as I don’t expect to be done the story for a long time and then I have to fine tune, add description and start getting feedback from people who are not involved with the story to help me make it enjoyable for people who don’t know me as well.
Wish Me Luck.

i think you should do both. but do it chapter by chapter. write one chapter in the book and fine tune it and give it to the artist *cough* frances *cough* and let her get back to you with some images and see where that goes.
I think that would be a fun idea, I'll let Frances know when I'm done the next chapter.
