I find people being surprised by how quickly I can write something, even in full script. I wondered why this was, until I began to look at some scripts by other writers. Some of these guys seem to think that every single detail and nuance of a scene must be described in excrutiating detail to the artist.
I usually write in full script, but give only the ESSENTIAL information, assuming that the person who is actually drawing the thing is more than capable of adequately drawing it.
There's no reason that any writer needs to try to exercise that much control over the artist. Comics are a clloaborative medium, and the artist is at the very least equally, and in many ways more, important to the finished product than the writer, despite what many writers would have you believe. Any writer who has to write so much that it overwhelms any input the artist might have into whyat the scene looks like is simply creating more work for himself, and wasting his own time.
