How Not to Add Dialogue Good

This is how to bother your artist friend

Hey team!

So we're past 20 pages! Crazy! How did it get to this point!? I blame my parents, honestly, but we never imagined our first chapter would be as many pages as it's turning out to be. In the end it doesn't' really matter, it's just insane to think of how much story there is to tell. And what do you need to tell that story? DIAL LOGS!

We sometimes have an issue with fitting in character dialogue, especially when it is from a script that I wrote long before the page was drawn. Having a panel full of text isn't very aesthetically pleasing, and it can block out too much of the background and confuse the position and placement of the speaker. Simultaneously, it's easy to be precious about what you've written. I'm breaking a habit of trying to fit in the sentence exactly as it was written, and getting better at sizing up how much text can actually fit within a panel.
