I've decided to tentatively call my graphic novel Still Life. I am worried it sounds too much like a play on words, but the only other title I can think of at this point is Collector and I'm not inclined to name a story after the narrator-slash-protagonist. Just like I'm not going to make the last sentence of a book refer back to the title. It just seems a bit cheesy.
It's been a long road getting this thing to happen. I've been struggling with it as a novel and a short story when, really, it isn't meant for that. The second I said it to myself - 'Mo,' I said, 'this is a graphic novel' - I had eighteen pages of comic and artistic direction written.
Shame is that I'm no artist, but I'll just bend Photoshop to my will until someone takes pity on me. After all, I'm disinclined to rope someone else into this whole debacle until I can prove to myself that I'll get it done.
