Can I turn my novels into comic books?
I want to write a novel and then turn it into a online web comic. I found a good website to help me manage the story, characters and important details. I realized this site could also be used for a comic book story as well. (though that's not it's intended use.)The problem is, is it too difficult to write a novel and then turn it into a web comic as I go along with the story?

As long as you have an artist that can capture the nature of your novel, it shouldn't be a problem. Translating the written descriptions of scenery and character emotions involves an understanding between author and illustrator. Of course if you are both, you're already halfway there.
One novel that I love the translation from novel to comic form (albeit traditional comic/graphic novel) is Stephen King's 'Dark Tower.' Granted, it helps that Jae Lee is one of my all time favorite artists. The scope and magnitude of that story is staggering in and of itself, yet to break it all down into panels of a comic story is amazing.
You need an animator to help with this conversion...
