THAT LAST UPDATE HAD ME SCREAMING OH MY GOD also when you were conceptualizing Witchy, did you flesh out the characters before the plot or the other way around?

aha thank you… i love to make my readers suffer…

what came first with witchy was the concept then a vague idea of the story, and then i kind of fleshed out the characters while i built up the plot? i had a very clear idea of who i wanted prill and batu to be from the beginning, but nyneve and veda have developed a lot since i actually started posting the comic. 

i dont recommend that as a way of working though, I mainly did it because if i didnt start witchy when i did i probably wouldnt have started it ever, and it’s an experiment for me so i just went with the flow. nyneve and veda are becoming a lot easier to write now, but prill and batu were easy from the very beginning.

I AM a very plot oriented writer, but when you have a very clear, distinct cast of characters  from the beginning, driving the plot forward becomes a whole lot simpler.
