Updating fic and doujins ramblings

[gem2niki]

Since 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.

Ah thank you! I think I've always had inkling to get back to storytelling because I always rough out comic pages in the corner of my sketchbooks etc. But so lazy to actually draw them out. (even now i'm kinda lazy, just uploading stuff i've done in past years haha)

You always drew these interesting world and characters, but I have no idea what it was about haha. I hope you get to share more about your characters through some sorta stories~ XD

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

Yeah, I always did think you were into storytelling too (I don't know very many who both drew and drew comics, not to mention draw comics and write fic too!)

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
