In a lot of ways, I'm having an easier time planning and writing Funny Books (also known as Please Don't Sue Me, Kevin Smith!) than I am with either Bounty or Notna. I'm not sure what that is, aside from the obvious differences in each screenplay. With Bounty and Notna, I realize I'm dealing with fantastic, out-of-this-world material, stuff likely to be heavy of mysticism and special effects and all that. So not only do I have to worry about all sorts of convoluted continuity, I have to explain the unexplainable and make sure my fight sequences and all that are insanely over-the-top (for a prime example, see the fights in Spiderman 3). Over-the-top's not necessarily a strength of mine, so that's difficult.
But Funny Books ... I'm just whipping through that outline, plotting out all my characters and establishing pretty easily all the relavent plot points and all that shit. If this keeps up, I might have the first draft of the script ready and done within the next month or two.
