The main character in the graphic novel I’ve been working on is a writer, though this character (his name is Finnegan) isn’t engaged in the act of writing when the story begins, but in fact has found that he is unable to write (or anyway that he has lost the ‘mojo’ or sense of purpose that till then had led him to write), and so has gotten up from the desk at which he usually sits, in the apartment where he lives, and has wandered away, into another room, to see if he can pass the time in some other way.
