You said that the book is plotted a long ways out. Basically, I'm saying this book looks like it will be around for a while. that's why I have such far reaching plans. I try to have at least 4 of those chunks planned, but there are times when a new chunk of issues is dropped in and things get pushed back. I'm at a point with the series where I plot in 24 issue chunks, loosely. I have a solid plot through Issue 200 and general ideas that could continue after that. Robert Kirkman's updated statement to the same question in Letter Hacks of Issue 104: so while I do have a road map-if a side road pops up on the horizon at the last minute, I don't hesitate to go that route knowing that I can eventually get back on the main road at a later date. That's how life is-we never know what's going to come next. I like to play things fast and loose, though. I pretty much write things on the go from issue to issue, but I follow a larger plot I've got mapped out for some time. I love them so much, but I love doing terrible things to them. I'm constantly thinking of new and horrible things that will happen to these characters. along the way I've come up with dozens of other things to do with the book that will keep it going and keep it interesting for years to come. When I started, I had mapped the book up to about where I am now, actually. Did you have a master plan from the very beginning or you're developing things "on the go"?Īs far as a master plan goes-I don't have one.
