How do I go about working in a vampire subplot into a story about a malevolent AI?? I cannot figure it out. The two things are unrelated. I don’t know if I want to make new non-vampire characters for that comic (Rune Pandora is the tentative title) because it’s the one I have all the notes for and the plot is actually pretty good, if I do say so myself. The new story that I put the vampire characters in is relatively bare bones plot-wise. I just really don’t want to make them suddenly not vampires anymore. I am very averse to change. I don’t know what to do and I have no ideas for how to work in the vampire angle, someone please help me 😭

I found a fantastic note taking app called Joplin. Better than Evernote. And it’s free. Only problem is syncing because it’s a pain in the ass. Let’s hope I’m able to get my stories straightened out, because it’s a daunting task. I have a LOT of notes and they’re jumbled, and when I changed my mind on something I’d just jot it down and not bother to go back and correct the notes that came before. Because I’m lazy. It’s like a big knot to untangle. I may begin to talk more about my stories here…no one reads it though. I like feedback I just don’t have anyone to give it to me.

I’m having serious anxiety. I want to draw so bad but I can’t seem to do it. I’m talking near panic attack levels of anxiety. It sucks to be an artist who can’t yet make art. I think it’ll happen soon though. I hope.

Also, I’m still waiting to get my $100 back from Hobby Lobby, it’s taking forever.

Ugh, my stories are a mixed up mess. The plot bunnies are once again running circles in my head…

I basically decided to replace several characters in Rune Pandora with completely new ones, not the same characters I’ve had for 24 years. I decided to take them out of that story and put them in a vampiric setting, because they were vampires since I created them. I couldn’t work the vampire angle into Rune Pandora, it just wasn’t working and would be a weird, distracting subplot. I’m working on a new one now with my old characters called Age of Arcane. I now have to untangle all the notes I’ve written for the past four years and change pretty much everything and split them up neatly into two stories. And create several new characters. Why do I do this to myself lol. I can’t even get myself to draw yet. I honestly think I get ahead of myself sometimes. How do I have characters I made in 2000 that don’t have a story yet? How have I only been working on this for four years? Why can’t I decide what I want to do with them? I think I’m on the right path now, though.

I’m also building a foundation for a short comic strip called “Goth Opera”, like a parody of soap operas but…goths. It’ll probably be totally dumb and unfunny but whatever. I am decent at creating characters, at least I think so…haha.

I see my therapist today and I can’t wait to tell her I was approved for weight loss surgery and now have a scheduled date!! She is probably my biggest supporter. I know she’ll be excited about it!

I’ll stop rambling now. Good night, internet.

I’m excited. My story has been coming along nicely and things are finally starting to come together and make sense! I’ve gotten a bunch of books on my kindle about worldbuilding, character development, and tropes. I read part of The Trope Thesaurus at the beach today, and I must say it’s excellent. I do love me some good tropes! I do wonder when I’ll be back at the point, drawing-wise, to be able to take on the art part of this project. I’m pretty (lol extremely) rusty at this time. I have not drawn substantively since like…2018 I think. Something stupid happened last time I posted my art (friend essentially insulted me lol) and it sent me into a kind of death spiral I guess. Dunno what else to call it. I have come to the conclusion that I am WAY too sensitive and really don’t need to give a fuck what anyone thinks, even friends, unless I ASK them for their thoughts. I need to quit giving any fucks at all. Not even a little one. No fucks. None. My field of fucks is now dry and barren 😀

As it should be.

Artists really can’t let people bring them down. I always encourage and compliment on what I like about it, and I never criticize unless specifically asked to do so. Not everyone is going to like what you do, unfortunately, and sometimes they will be a dickhead about it. I have to accept that myself. I’m very guilty of letting that shit bother me, obviously. But like I said, no more fucks will be given.

Now I have to figure out how to format a comic page. Procreate has an automatic sized comic book page thing, which helps greatly, but I SUCK at boxes. I never know what to do with them or what looks right. Last time I had an online comic (2003 lol) I kicked out about 16 ugly, poorly formatted pages before throwing in the towel. I hope it won’t go like that this time. I have much better materials and programs now.

I just need to be able to draw.

I was adding stuff to my ideas note in Google keep on my phone and accidentally trashed the note 😣 freaking panicked!! That note is very, very long and the product of about 1.5-2 years of thoughts and ideas for one of my future online comics. I got it back though, but not before soiling myself out of sheer terror. I have very poor memory and it’s very important that I write this stuff down, or I’ll just forget it. Ideas don’t stay in my head for very long.

 The note started to glitch a bit at the bottom, as if it didn’t want me to add any more text, so I made a second one.

eek.
