User blog:Gilgameshkun/Why so many empty unfinished transcript pages? Here's why.

You may notice, in the Recent Wiki Changes page (or, if you're reading this late, in Category:Mirage TMNT Transcripts, lots of empty new transcript pages for Mirage TMNT stories. The reason I'm setting up empty transcript pages in advance is because, by focusing on one area of the transcription process (article structuring and navigation), I don't have to divide my focus between that and later actual transcript typing, which will involve filling in the empty page transcripts with the comics pages right next to me.  I ended up doing something similar with the transcripts in Category:IDW TMNT Transcripts, creating many initially unfinished empty transcript pages, which I have since gradually filled such that they are no longer empty.  The more I divide my focus between tasks ("switching gears"), the more error-prone (not to mention stressful) the editing process becomes.  And when dealing with something as shuffled and ambiguous as the Mirage Chronology, the process of creating new transcript articles is itself a very major chore in the overall process.

But thus far, as of this posting, three Mirage TMNT transcripts are already filled in and finished:
 * The Amulet/Transcript
 * Threads/Transcript
 * My Hero!/Transcript
