I’ve had a few I’ve worked on – on and off. I have some great ideas but I just seem to lack motivation somehow. I think I get intemidated and look at is as a whole project rather then in sections like I should.
How to write a Manga
How I did it: First, you have to think of a theme, create characters, plot.If you get writers block, think of what you want for the beggining and end of your story, conflict and theme.if you are frustrated,Take a break.take a nap.Before you draw, make thumbnail sketches for each page, then a rough draft, then ink it.If you aren't good at drawing manga, Tracing is the best place to start.Also try copying.don't forget to touch-up and tie up the loose ends. good luck :)
Lessons & tips: Be patient. You can never be too slow at drawing manga!
Resources: Manga Artist Academy by Shojo Beat. This is the best EVER that you can get if you want to write a manga.

Having a hard time deciding a plot. I had one for awhile, but I am adjusting it, in my head though, as I see would work because I think of something and it is obvious it has been influenced by something else. Like, my main character is a summoner, much like Yuna from Final Fantasy :(.
my drawings sucks ass. . . but. . . like hell that would stop me.
on the other hand, i think my writing skills are a lot better than my drawing skills. . .

I cannot draw worth anything but I write. I am working on a manga with my husband’s art expertise and think its coming along okay.
one of the characters must be scrapped… WAAAHHHH! oh well all good things come to an end.
this is getting better. im coloring the main characters now and they look great!!!!:)
it took me the better part of two weeks but i got some characters. the worst part is knowing that i will have to continueously redraw them. AAACK!!!
I haven’t had any luck finding the kind of artist I want to draw my pitch to Tokyopop, so I’m going to see about converting my stories into short stores, selling them to magazines/etc, and then publishing them in a novel-format. Maybe then I’ll be able to convert them back into manga form, and pitch them to Tokyopop. LOL
I have several times tried to draw manga, but it seems like it´s not my thing. But I have started again, because I got inspired by a programme called “Manga”, wich was on a couple of days ago. And on that tv-programme they showed a manga named “20th century boys, I love it and I am now going to try writing my own manga. But how I will start is another thing I have to sort out.
