I needed to share my rebuttal to the idea of "Black" was a label given to us by White people. Facebook comment: "But Black is English for the Spanish word Negro. Yes, it is a label but labels are still for property. Just wish we'd stop identifying as colors because we are people and not crayon adjectives, an inaccurate one at that."

Act 1 'the Problem' When writing your story, stop thinking about how your character will fight, the cool powers or twisting narratives. This thinking veers you off track. All stories start with a problem that guides the story along. That's all you need as a framework. When it comes to my 7page limitation, the 1st Act is given 2 pages. Page one introduces the norm of

I'm sorry readers. I know I've been posting random Warframe concepts, but the truth is I barely get any time in the week to work peacefully. My little one is moving and climbing. Which means I have to be willing to walk away from a piece at the drop of the hat. That's never going to happen with the comics. With fanart, I can sketch out something in minutes. So sorry.
