I'm really having trouble trying to understand how I can go abouy writing. Something just isn't clicking with me. I read on all these terms and techniques and things like that, but I can never get what it means or how it works. Is there something I missed? Why don't I get it?

I feel lately that I can use dA journals as a means to vent out whatevers bothering me, so I might use this a little more frequently.

Something that I noticed in my day-to-day life is that, at least one day out of a week or so, I feel pretty down. It's becomes hard to draw or do school work. I either work at the same pace and become lethargic or just give up.

At these times I think I might be depressed or I might just be tired. Lately it's become hard to tell. It seems like everything around has become hard to distinguish from truth or some kind of delusion from being depressed.

I don't really know what to think.

Damn boy, this is that thing called a "journal" that I do once every, like, 10 months or so.:( (Sad) 

The last year or so (since I stopped SUPER School Rumble), I have been trying get better at making a worthwhile comic to make, and it's not easy for me. Trying to organize my thoughts definitely helps me get a better idea of what I might want to do for whatever I'm working on, but then when I actually get to making a draft or the final pages, It seems like I go the easier direction and just draw whatever I feel like, having total disregard of what I had just planned. That really annoys me.\

I would have a good idea and actually think of themes and characters that I like and want to use, only to just draw a plethora of fight scenes back to back while trying my hardest to right trite dialogue to explain what's happening in that moment, throwing out all the thought I had put into what I wanted to do.

Why do I do this? Why the hell is it so hard for me to stick to whatever I had going? Why can't I just focus on making a coherent plot with the themes I thought up?

I can DRAW standalone pictures that I feel capture whatever themes or ideas I'm trying to express in that series that I'm thinking of, and even when I jot down some kind of outline of what I want to do for a plot. However, when it comes down to putting whatever plot or themes I had planned to incorporate into my work, I, again, just draw mindless fight scenes that don't do anything to express those themes or even follow a plot. It's just a series of fights that mean nothing.:( (Sad)

Perfectionism

1 min read
I noticed that lately I have been quite the perfectionist. I want to draw a comic that will be suitable for a publisher to accept and distribute, but I can't seem to be satisfied. I gone through draft after draft and can't seem to be happy with what I come up with. However, this can be good. I can constantly hone my skills and find weaknesses in my craft, so it'll come out better in the long run.

For my watchers, I have been really inactive lately. Not for any bad reason, I was just trying to build my Facebook page audience (and it's actually doing better than this account on dA). If you would like (and if you have a facebook) give my page a LIKE! I have been posting there recently.
