How broad is your future?

[WorldBreakerNovels]

Currently, we have two active series, but we have many more that are just waiting to be written or drawn when the budget is right!

One of which is called Apex Alice: Memories Long Forgotten! It follows a girl, Alice Phoenix, who was used for an experiment as a child that mutated her to have particular features of many different creatures! However, after a traumatic event, she developed amnesia and lived her life only having nightmares of the past, but always assuming it's just a bad dream.

How many works are you aiming for in your future? Are you a one-and-done person? Maybe you're a bottomless well of ideas, and plan to write and/or draw forever!

I have a plentiful amount of planned projects! It just comes to show if I feel like continuing them or starting it. So why do I not have a consistency of working on my projects? Simple answer: I am either busy with life or indulge my free time in video games.

Curse you War Thunder, I can't stop playing because I am addicted!!

I just need to be constantly motivated and inspired, otherwise, my projects will feel bland and a hassle.

[WorldBreakerNovels]

I feel that. Procrastination and lack of inspiration really do sap it all from you. I have covers for most of my future projects, and I'd like to release them in a particular order, but it's tough to get in the mood to work on them.

Of the four that will come after Gluttonous and Techromaster, I've only completed one lol. It's the struggle sometimes.

I have about a year to go on Little Ball of Hate, then I have a couple shorter comics to do before starting a long one again.

[Questionable_Liquid]

How long do novel creators take on average to complete a book? I'm currently in year 2 (o_0) and my online novel just reached its halfway point.

If time doesn't matter how long a creator should take to make a novel, then I'm what the cool and hip people say, "chillin', coolin'."

[Hoku_1]

i have a lot of ideas and hope i can earn money from this someday. I have tried improving my writing style and let's see what we have in the future but for now i will focus on my 2 novels.

for Fading Echoes it's a short novel with around a 40-45 planned chapters.
Clinic in another world, will be a long novel with around 250 or more chapters.

I’m honestly planning on making comics the rest of my life, if not as a job then a hobby. I’m maybe 1% of the way through my current comic lol, but that’s okay. I have so many stories i’d love to make, and when i’m done with my current comic i’m planning on making a smaller one just to wind down. I have like 5 different stories I want to make so far. Hopefully i’ll be able to!

[vapidink]

I have one WIP I'm updating, and another I plan to post later this year or early next year. That one's going to be a three-part fantasy series, with a possible prequel so I'll be posting that for years. Then I have a couple ideas I'll start developing once I'm done writing the series, which I'm already like halfway through.

Honestly, I'll probably always be writing in one way or another. Just completed my fifth novel and I didn't think I'd get that far, but ideas come out of nowhere, haha.

[Emalie]

The novel I am publishing is about to finish and I already have a project for next year. I'm going from writing BL stories to a horror one whose MC is a girl. I'm happy with that. ️️️️️

And after that I have something else in mind. I just need time to work on everything.

[ThunderChicken]

First novel down and published, second written and about 80% published, at least two more "in the chamber"

[Mallory]

I have like... tiers of projects.

There's projects I want to make just for myself, even if they're non-commercial. That's Engram, which I am making since there are fewest things standing between myself and making it real. There's also a couple of spicy romance books I've written and was like, a few clicks away from publishing on Amazon, but I'm a bit afraid lmao. I've never published romance, and certainly not spicy, messy romance.

There's projects I want to publish traditionally and draw myself, but currently don't have the health for. I have one of them storyboarded, and a version of it that project set in 1930s with a rough draft of a script. I've started pitching it traditionally and while feedback has generally been positive, it's also been a lot of rejection (which is probably a good thing anyways. I don't know if I can keep up with commercial deadlines).

Then there's projects I'm treating more like "professional" work, where I intend to shop them around to agents and publishers and hope that they pique someone's interest to hire a whole art crew for me, who would then have more artistic control BUT it's not a big deal because I've left them open for collaborative changes. Those I am enjoying writing scripts for, and learning about the publishing industry, but if all they ever are is scripts, it's not a big deal. I may rework some of them into illustrated novels instead if I feel like there's potential for them. Of those projects, I have three - two graphic novels and a picture book.

[LostKelp]

I intend to make art until my pen is wretched from my cold dead hands.

[linZcomics]

I may be just starting out with my comic, but I have a lot of ideas for other stories. I have a full journal of ideas for stories and characters.

My dream is to one day draw and write fantasy comics from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed. There isn't anything in this world I love more.

Two galaxies across

[Headypigeon4180]

I'm aiming to work on 3 projects at the same time in the near future. Phantom Force 3000 is coming in April 2024.

As for now i'm making Hawk and Flo Adventures and Thirley Peak. They both seem to be doing well on Tapas the day I hit 250 subs I was tipped 20,400 ink.

I find myself getting tired from the heightened emotions more so than the work load. I had a lot of downs then incredible highs and now i'm feeling pretty tired lol.

[TheLemmaLlama]

How many works are you aiming for in your future? Are you a one-and-done person? Maybe you're a bottomless well of ideas, and plan to write and/or draw forever!

Currently my dearest projects fall into one of two universes, with some shorter, scattered stuff that I'm fine with not finishing before I kick it I will be happy to finish my current pet projects and never pick up the stylus again if I really end up having no more ideas (I will most certainly not force myself to keep coming up with new things just bc I can't let go or got successful and felt the need to milk it), but I still may end up having new ideas I will care a lot about in the future; I can't predict that

I intend to make art until my pen is wretched from my cold dead hands.

What if no-one takes the pen from your hand after you die?

[WorldBreakerNovels]

I can feel for that! I have a comic series that I would be more than fine with not having an ending, but the rest of my stories are very important to me.

As Tim Burton once said: Every good story has a beginning, middle, and end. Possibly not in that order. Little lines like that inspire me to make endings before I even make beginnings. A grand goal for a story feels very important, and I can't help but pressure my novels as hard as possible so I can try to manage to get there before I die. Unfortunately for me, there's still many, many, MANY, stories to tell! lmao!

And this isn't all of them, nor the individual volume breakdown lol

[thepenmonster]

I plan to post my little b&w strip twice a week until the story is told. In the background I'll work on the much more complex color sci-fi comic. When the first one is done the second one will be ready to go.

In theory. The real world doesn't care about anyone's plans.

[WorldBreakerNovels]

It's never about doing what the world wants. It's about doing what you want. The part that most people keep stumbling over is other people's opinions. They change their stories to flex to make the most people happy. However, you can never really make everyone happy, so you can always do your best to make yourself happy and hope others enjoy it too.

[NickRowler]

I already have 4 smaller series and 3 that are longer. But currently, I am only working on one.

I guess for the future…
- work on my current series (Frostpeak West) until I get bored
- Do something more with Crow’s Worth even if it means creating a spin off.
- Get into novel writing. I have some ideas but I don’t really want to draw them.
- Maybe do something for little kids (won’t be posted on Tapas)
