gem2nikiSince I did it last year for NaNoWriMo but for artist, I started updating my online comic: Notebook Kiss a page a day and fanfic. The last time I updated my ouran fanfic was 5 years ago!!! OMG time has passed. But I also have not really leisurely read a book for a LOOOOOOONG time, so I already forgot how to write story orz;;;
I kinda envy my past self, since I was able to do what I enjoyed the most: storytelling. Now, I waste time just drawing fanarts or trying to improve my painting skills without really adding a narrative. Also I was able to draw comic stuff during high school and college years when I was also busy with homework. Now I'm already out of school and working, but can barely do any comic (unless its work related) for fun. Where did I go wrong?
Ahh hopefully this month will bring my groove back into just doing more storytelling. Even tho I'm working on a fandom I really don't care about now...I want to at least give it a conclusion. I also wish I could print my stuff haha, but no one really buys my work or this small fandom haha.

Date: 2012-11-19 01:10 am (UTC)I admire that you're getting back into sequential storytelling again! That's something I've always wanted to do, but for some reason or another, never ended up doing successfully or following through with. Even just going back and finishing something you started years ago, that takes commitment, and that's admirable. And the older I get, the more I remember a quote of advice I was once given "It's all about story!". Whether writing or comics or so forth... I always kinda beat myself up every time I end up just doing more figure studies or make some rough portraity illustrations or so forth, since the longer I keep doing that, the more that stuff feels redundant, almost like a waste of time (even though I know none of it is truly a "waste"-- I suppose it's more like, time could have been better well spent, I guess?)
Ah, sorry for rambling! I just wanted to say I totally share your sentiment when it comes to wanting to do more storytelling. And keep up the great work~!

I totally get what you mean by the illustration stuff! I keep going back to studies because I can't think of what to draw anymore...I know i have so much to improve, but i'm less motivated orz;;
Rambling is good! XD

Date: 2012-11-26 06:27 am (UTC)Haha I've always imagined that my worlds and characters would be interesting only to me so I never really worked on externalizing them... which is pretty dumb, I know. Thanks for calling them interesting! I'll try to make them more coherent! :'D
And, I know that feel bro, I know that feel. OTL
