I have finished the script for the second chapter and I’m really excited how it turned out! With the introductions now taken care of in the first chapter we can really dive into the story and characters while getting some awesome horror-action-comedy along the way.

If she needs to visualize a panel she may draw a quick sketch in the margins or do some practice drawings in her sketchbook.
