Well, it was in 10th grade when I was really into drawing anime, and I started playing roller hockey, and I was in study hall and didn't feel like studying for midterms, so I had this flash of brilliance, I'd make a comic book about hockey! So I started drawing an outline for the first page in pen, and then I drew a title page, then I think i redrew the first page in pencil, though now it was actually the second page, then I stopped working on it for awhile, I think it was because I was disappointed that the Flyers didn't win the Stanley Cup, then I finally drew a third page, then I went to summer camp.. Then after I got back, I mailed those 3 pages to my pen pal because he's an artist type person, so that's why there're creases in the paper, anyways.. so then I really didn't work on it too much during the summer, I drew half of the 4th page, then, I dunno I finished the 4th page up with a big space filler drawing.. then, I had to draw a hockey game and I had no idea how I was going to do that, plus I couldn't draw helmets very well, or people in action poses for that matter.. so I figured I'd practice drawing hockey players and then when I got good enough I'd continue on my comic.. well, 11th grade was a pretty busy year for me, I actually had study hall the same period as some of my friends so I wasn't just sitting in the library by myself, and I was doing more actual hockey playing than drawing, so I didn't really work on the comic too much.. I drew a new title page and redrew the first page and redrew half of the second page.. but it was clear that the comic was coming to its end.. so yeah, it took me 2 years to draw 5 pages of comic.. and I don't think I'm going to be finishing it up any time soon, or even working on it.. but who knows, sometimes I get into weird moods and feel like drawing..
