May Updates and things you should know

I have made good progress on the story over all in the past few weeks a mostly on chapter 1 which is getting much stronger, and I will do my best to get the full chapter out by next week.

How I will treat working on all chapters including chapter 1
I want to write out each chapter as someone would write a regular book, then once I'm confident that is my vision for the chapter I will them create the illustrations in a comic formate.
Its easier to edit drafts than having to redraw sketches over and over and I feel less guilty throwing them out so then I won't have a ton of space take up by outdated work.

This is also good because if I can't make it a full comic I will be able to make it a "light novel"

Although the closest thing I've read to a light novel is Diary of a Wimpy Kid  

At this point this is a turning point in the development in "The tale of Rabiah":
The comics for Korra come out this summer and ever sense I started Rabiah I've been a single college art student (now a drop out) competing against a team of professionals who have been paid for their work for years.

I would like to at least get half of my story out by the end of this year even if it means making changing I mentioned above.

I don't want to scare anyone by saying this but I'm trying to be realistic about my situation,

worst comes to worse I will do what the much more popular artist "SolKorra" did:

She was also working on an overly ambitious fan comic for Korra and she ended up turning it into an original work,
but the big difference with her story is that it took place in the far far future of the avatar world and hence had more flexibility translating it into an original story.

If would be difficult to translate my characters and plot into a new one as I worked very hard to make things fit into cannon seamlessly also considering it takes place during Korra's plot.

So before I would turn TOR into a work of my own I would seek out a co-writer/artist.

I have been teaching myself to write sense freshman year of high school but I only recently learned about poor habits that can prevent you from getting your work done, thank god for the youtube channel "Terrible writing advice"
  Writer's BlockThis man has been stocking me...  

There are two things that have made this project overly ambitious:

1) working on a full school-
as a result I may have to make some rooms never be entered as well as cut out some teachers who were going to have full on designs and personalities, that may include this teacher below

I have some ideas for her, but she might end up getting the chopping block.
Right now I'm thinking she would be an enemies with Rabiah considering Rabiah is a trouble maker
or she may be combined with another character which has happened several times in the past during development.

2)Having a meta-narrative-
It may sound like a waste of time to have one and even more so that it may be done by hand unlike the rest of the story but I wanted to include it because its important to showing parallels to the characters relationships and other parts of the plot.
Instead of making the characters whiny emo Mary Sues their full emotions would be shown threw another story to create more of an atmosphere.

Over all not much is going to be changed I've had the same vision ever sense I first stated and at this point its mostly some holes that need to be filled in the art and plot.

If I can't handle getting a fan project done then how am I going to get an original one done? If I can't that will be bad considering I have plans to become a professional comic/freelance artist.
