Taking the Plunge in Making a Story. Is Letter Paper Acceptable to Draw On?

I usually write novels, so this is new ground for me.

Ever since I found this community and other similar places, my inspiration has been through the roof, and I got 4 pages of writing done yesterday, no panels yet though.

It may take a year or twenty, but I'm finally making my own creation. I have been looking up what paper sizes people use, and there is a ton of variance. If it is easy to publish I may stick with an 8.5" by 11" since I am comfortable with it, but please let me know if that is stupid.

Also my writing style may clash with translating to other languages, so I will want to study that as well. I'm not very religious, but people have compared my writing to the Old Testament.

To end this off, if you storyboard on physical paper, what's the cleanest way to scan papers? Thank you all!
