Annoying author things

[Leyelle]

second guessing how much information I want to give on little details of the story, especially when they're kind of touchy subjects. And constantly wondering whether my story should be marked mature

[Leyelle]

does anybody else ever find themselves wanting to rewrite the same sort of scenes with different characters from different series because it would be fun to see how those characters would react in the scenario of a different one of your stories?

obviously it would be bad to be redundant with your actual releases, but this might make a fun sort of side content or bonus stories

[Leyelle]

Not really annoying, but that freaky moment when you sea someones artwork of a character who looks basically exactly like a character you designed in your story

[Leyelle]

Anytime you have two versions of the way a line could be written, or a chapter could go and they seem like they could both work really well, and you have to try to pick which is best

Also ignoring that never ending idea that if you keep rewriting the chapter, it'll keep getting better, so you should never ever release it

This is more of an artist thing, but... I can either draw the FL from my novel "Damsel in the Red Dress" really well, or I can draw her looking consistently like herself. It appears there is rarely an in-between. If the picture looks super crisp, I'll come back later to realize something about her eyes or face shape no longer makes her look quite like she's supposed to.

And I just can't draw Essence (FL from "A Dozen Morning Glories") consistently at all. Period. A dozen different kinds of pretty, but they all look like different people

This is 100% an artist thing, but I created a cover for a potential new comic just for fun but it looks so good and now I wanna start working on it but I have other projects to do!
It'll probably be another year before I can start it.
Why? Why do I do this to myself?
Maybe I could write it like a novel just to see if the idea sticks...but that'll be another project to the heap!

[Leyelle]

lol, unfortunately yes. this is too true

[Leyelle]

My ideas are too complex for me to execute them.
I'm bad at learning no matter how much i want to understand things lol. This is an art thing more than a writing thing, but i still can't make sense of layers on my drawing app.

[Leyelle]

The too complex to execute ideas continue with the female lead of my new novel "Crystal Blue"

[Leyelle]

this is more of an artist thing. realizing I'm ditsy because I've been redrawing a character's whole body every time I need to practice drawing her FACE.

because my brain is operating at 30% lol

Having way more fun drawing a certain stories ocs than another's, coming back and realizing that i've made next to no promotional material for one of my series
