like i literally feel like this is all i am good for in life lol

2019-12-01 02:33:31 UTC  

but because of that, one of my friends was like "It reminds me of a mix of Resident Evil, Metal Gear, and something out of a Tom Clancy story."

2019-12-01 02:33:48 UTC  

entertaining a buncha neets w glossy high fantasy comics

2019-12-01 02:34:16 UTC  

okay, If anybody needs writing advice then PM me. not rn I'm going to get a beer and pretend that never happened

2019-12-01 02:34:48 UTC  

honest to god question bros

2019-12-01 02:34:57 UTC  

am i doin the right thing in life

2019-12-01 02:35:00 UTC  

I dunno

2019-12-01 02:35:02 UTC  

what are you doing

2019-12-01 02:35:05 UTC  

there is no right thing

2019-12-01 02:35:23 UTC  

like i am actually goin to pay money to help get these stories completed

2019-12-01 02:35:23 UTC  

it's us and the void and a bunch of bullshit in-between

2019-12-01 02:35:35 UTC  

im afraid itll be a fukin wreck

2019-12-01 02:35:35 UTC  

I dunno really

2019-12-01 02:35:38 UTC  

same tbh

2019-12-01 02:35:43 UTC  

But I'd still like to try my hand

2019-12-01 02:36:07 UTC  

I planned to make it a trilogy anyway

2019-12-01 02:36:16 UTC  

i do an easy part-time job to pay the bills so that i'm free to fail until I get it right

2019-12-01 02:36:19 UTC  

I'm on the second one now, but I need to go back and re-write the first

2019-12-01 02:36:25 UTC  

I personally wouldn't go all in on a personal project. I'd have it be more of a side gig with a main money maker as an actual job

2019-12-01 02:36:50 UTC  

but like

2019-12-01 02:37:03 UTC  

that doesnt mean ur focusing on the quality of the writing anymore

2019-12-01 02:37:08 UTC  

so its not as special

2019-12-01 02:37:11 UTC  

First one is pretty much alt history, what if stuff. The sequel is the aftermath of said events, and explores the concept of government conspiracies.

2019-12-01 02:37:20 UTC  

also like i said i dont see myself doin anything else in life

2019-12-01 02:37:35 UTC  

@PugThug its about balancing. Making sure to work something on your free time

2019-12-01 02:37:45 UTC  

i mean sure ill work a shit part time job to pay the bills

2019-12-01 02:38:12 UTC  

but im planning to fund the comic w a campaign or sum 💩

2019-12-01 02:38:13 UTC  

Also, someone said that "time gaps are the laziest forms of story telling."

2019-12-01 02:38:27 UTC  

what is "the problem"?

2019-12-01 02:38:49 UTC  

So like, does that mean that mine is "lazy"? Since the sequel is 14 years after the events of the first

2019-12-01 02:39:08 UTC  

lazy doesn't mean bad

2019-12-01 02:39:13 UTC  

Don't try to set up a campaign if you don't think you'll deliver on a product. That'll fuck you over hard @PugThug

2019-12-01 02:39:16 UTC  

but there are flashback chapters or whatever, that explain the events of what happened between the 14 years

2019-12-01 02:39:28 UTC  

i have a strange relationship with the word lazy lol

2019-12-01 02:39:41 UTC  

i always push myself to avoid writing cliches

2019-12-01 02:39:54 UTC  

Pretty sure mine is full of cliches

2019-12-01 02:40:00 UTC  

"Call for support." "Radio's out."

2019-12-01 02:40:00 UTC  

i try to draw from personal exps in my own life

2019-12-01 02:40:08 UTC  

to force myself to be more invested in the story

2019-12-01 02:40:20 UTC  

i'm at a point where i'm convinced cliches sell a product, and markets don't want to see anything new

2019-12-01 02:40:46 UTC  

Never really got into writing. School kinda turned me off on that
