It's really cool to see what the process of creating is like for everyone and how it differs from one person to another. For me, it's a little complicated. On one hand, I find my stories more fun, unpredictable and original when I don't plan them, but then I get plot holes and character inconsistenc…
Well, in this case, for me, it's more like : comic book writing to prose to comic book writing but I get what you mean. I started off making comics, felt I wasn't good enough, switched to prose and am just getting back to drawing comics. I'm under no illusion that it'll probably take me longer to m…
So cool to another fellow novel writer/artist! That's a great idea, that you have illustrations and short comics to accompany the writing.
I know the feeling about being picky when it comes to the art, I'm too much of a perfectionist and that's why it takes me so long to finish anything.
Thanks for …
Yeah, I'm glad you can relate to that struggle, although I'm happy you've reached a point where you care less about it and care more about making the actual comic. You're right that we learn by making mistakes and that's important to keep in mind. I agree that I'd probably enjoy a script format bet…
I can definitely relate to the no pressure thing you mentioned. Like, I feel that I need to be good at writing and drawing when working on comics, whereas I only need my writing skills with novels. I'm not trying to get more subs or even go premium, just figuring out which medium makes me happier (a…
That's a good idea, I should definitely look more into it and decide from there what I want to do next. Thank you for the advice!
Yeah, I wouldn't feel confident enough to do a big comic anyway. I've learned the hard way not to push myself to meet deadlines, it only stresses me out and I end up procrastinating instead. That's great advice, thank you, I'll definitely do that.
You're right, I'll learn either way, nothing is …
It's reassuring to know I'm not alone feeling that way and that you know what it's like. I'm glad it's worked out for you so far.
That's good advice and I think I really needed to hear that, considering I always feel bad for being slow with art and writing. I also feel it would be a good idea, as…
Hi! I'm Amanda, I've been reading novels and comics for a long time and I've written and drawn for just as long. I'm not yet confident in my comic drawing skills (I know, weird that I write and draw and yet I'm writing a novel instead of a comic right now), so I'm sticking to writing some of my stor…
