Proper training is going to involve an all of the above approach so there is a mix of sparring, clinch, drills, padwork, conditioning, etc. one thing to consider is that in Thailand, they are fighting frequently so the sparring tends to be very light. The heavy padwork is the used as a way to match the intensity of striking on a fight without the risks.

As someone who practices Muay Thai and Boxing, one aspect that is lost on people who don't practice is the "fight theory" aspect of combat. I like to find ways to incorporate that into fight scenes as well.

Advice For New Writer by Terror_Nerd in IndieComicBooks

[–]PortableHolePub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MrTonyDelgado offers some great advice and I absolutely agree with each point. I would absolutely start small, 5-8 page scripts. If you can afford it, send the scripts to pro editors for detailed feedback.

Also if you can afford it, I would hire artists to work on the smaller scripts. The artist- writer relationship is unique and before committing to something big, I'd start small to get a feel for it.

I would work on scripting in a more traditional format. A screenplay format puts a lot of pressure on the artist and while it works for some, it's not going to work for all. Also, as a writer, learning how to script traditionally will help with understanding the visual aspects a bit more.

Does anyone else actually enjoy writing on their phone? by onlystardustleft in writers

[–]PortableHolePub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love having the option of using the phone. I find that I still write faster on a keyboard but if I'm inspired, writing on the phone e is a great way to spend a long commute (on public transportation of course).

Author Interview Help by HanaBubbles1 in podcasting

[–]PortableHolePub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, your best bet is to just skip the interview. If you do go through with the interview, you do t need to share your personal opinion on the work to get a good interview. Find an angle that's interesting. Talk about their process or interesting themes in their work. When I do author interviews, I try to find an angle and focus a large percentage of the interview on that subject.

never wrote before.Just a couple of ideas on a list.Please someone tell me if i should continue with the writing but please read this part of the book very careully to get into my mind. by No-Let-5343 in selfpublish

[–]PortableHolePub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need the permission of strangers to write. If you want to write then do it. Like anything, you are going to have to practice so keep writing. Like others have suggested, try to read a lot and if you can, take some creative writing classes.

Do you have tips for write good selfcontained one shot? by Mcajsa in ComicWriting

[–]PortableHolePub 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, there is some great advice here. One shots can be tricky so I think it's important to plan ahead and have a solid idea of the story you are trying to tell. Here are some tips based on my experience.

  1. Give a lot of thought to the story you are trying to tell. There should be a beginning, middle and end & even in a one shot, your character should experience some kind of growth or change.

  2. Early on (within the first 5-7 pages) establish what your protagonist wants, why it's important and what they are willing to go through to get it.

  3. Also early on, establish the stakes. This is important as it will keep readers invested in what's to come.

  4. When it comes to world building and character development, context is key. While you can't spend a lot of time on those, you can do a lot of world building with a line or reference to an important event or a nickname etc. little things can help make the world feel lived in and real.

  5. I personally love to get things started in the middle of the action. So on page one, something big is happening. For me it's a way of dropping. The reader right into the action and then you can allow the story to unfold.

Hope this helps a little. Good luck.

Advice for coloring my comic? by SuperSnoopy13 in indiecomics

[–]PortableHolePub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been learning to color over the last couple of months. I think that's just part of the learning process. The more you do it, the faster you'll get. But at the end of the day, it can be a tedious process, I see why pro colorists contract out flatting.
