 <note>This type of writing is done best with a team of at least two people.  One writes a few pages, the other edits and writes a few more, and so on. This can help with basic grammar and structure, as well as with description fatigue. Don’t worry too much about getting it right the first time, and build a good relationship with your writing partner and editor. Don’t be afraid to ask for help!  Fresh eyes can really help with this type of writing.  It may take more than one draft to get it right, and it gets easier with time.</note> <note>This type of writing is done best with a team of at least two people.  One writes a few pages, the other edits and writes a few more, and so on.

 +<note tip>The following outline template can be useful for setting up your panel descriptions:

 +  * Panel (Square Panel, Wide Panel, Vertical Panel, etc.)
 +  * View/Angle/Point-of-View of panel (Note: you often just have to say the view, i.e. wide view, mid-view, close up, etc.)
 +  * How are the characters visible in the frame? (from the waist up, in full figure, etc.)
 +  * Description of scene
 +  * Sound/Words
 +  * Description of action
 +  * Last details (i.e. does the image bleed behind the other panels, are there any last details you think add to the narration that you did not already note…)</note>
