Welcome back everyone. Nice to meet you again.
This post either means I am done with my break or it will just be some once in a while try-to-get-back with no sequel. We will just try it out and see how long I`ll stay focused.
In my mind I haven`t taken any break, but actually I did not write or draw anything for a too long time.
I eventually came back and tried my best to stay on my original track, but things got complicated and messy again so I just kept away.
So, what happened to me?
I somehow denied myself and tried out some different ways. But didn`t find something that drew me away completely. Anyone knows who I am. I can`t change it much.
Oh, I see you. I see both of you. You, nodding and knowing exactly what I mean, and you, shaking your head asking what I am trying to say right now.
Who am I? Want me to speak it out? I`ll do it.
I am this young girl who gave her all for comics. Reading all the time. Anything. And who can`t just shut up. I am that one who needs to tell what she thinks about that story, about that artstyle, about that storytelling and even about the format, the paper used, the language in the ballons. And I made confrontations between comics. They never stood alone in my head, I needed comparison and to find similarities and differences. Like any other would do with a book or poetry or painting. Comics just happen to summarize more than one channel together, and all channels used need to be analysed properly.
Am I back to writing reviews and analyses about comics? Maybe.
I just switched the language to English, as I thought it makes more sense and might reach more readers. Italian would not reach my German friends and acquaintance, German would not reach my dear Italian friends and people I deeply respect.
I might translate some articles in Italian, but I don`t feel so confident with my German writing skills so I`ll just pass for now.
