Anyway, have a quote from a very important character that'll be forgotten before they show up.

I didn’t expect myself to get into writing like I am now, honestly I thought I was kind of a lost cause, but it’s nice. I haven’t written like… a proper story or stuff like it since I was in middle school. I stopped for some reason and when I got back into it, it was mostly bullets notes and vague story beats, which I still use! But I’m making things more detailed like a proper writer and fleshing stuff out more (;///;)

It really… feels like a skill that I just forgot for a while? And it feels healthy somehow… like this feels so good for me. Like being in the dark, lighting sparks to see… Maybe the lights are dim but I can see a little more now, I’m understanding myself and the kinds of stories I want to tell. Maybe I’m also understanding myself more as a person… It’s special.

I’ve always kind of understood it was like that for writers, just like how I know how much fun I have drawing, but to feel it for myself is just… idk, it’s nice.

Now on a sillier note, wanna talk about my narrator because it’s one of those things that’s like “omg this thing is silly but I love it and I know I love writing it.” Maybe it’s cuz I used to make goofy stories about cringe 4th wall breaking characters and in my soul I’m forever bound to that sht—anyway, it makes me happy~

I have been thinking about my narrator as a character like all day, not like in the sense of being physical with a design, but as having opinions, reacting to what they’re explaining, and maybe being a little biased~

Whenever I get attached to characters like this I wanna draw them, but I love the idea of the narrator literally being only a disembodied voice, secretly annoyed by its own limited existence.

It would be fun to continue this but I’m kinda worried about scary ppl taking it the wrong way… idk what if someone thinks it’s like an excuse to sht on ppl or their characters, but I just wanna have a grouchy describer?

Idk… I love ask blogging for the interactions and the back and forth art stuff but I’m not the most socially agile and idk how I would handle those kinds of people …everyone has been nice tho… maybe I have nothing to worry about… idk. I guess I’ll feel it out

But even if it doesn’t end up fully fleshed out!!! I’m going to think of it as my ambassador of writing~ or… representative? THING that represents the spirit of a thing!!!

MY MUSE, MY WRITING MUSE!

Also here’s their theme song for no reason (its about a character talking about their writer)

I like simple pokemon cuz I think they're cute, but omg these big bois are gonna be so hard to draw in lineless.

I don’t know how long it’ll take for them to show up, but here go character explorations.

People keep telling me I need to basically respect myself more as an artist... like trying to get paid and stuff. Maybe I should also think about this for blogs, too?

With my old blog, I ended up putting way too much effort into asks. It kinda collapsed on me after I started answering some with little animations... I bit off more than I could chew and tried to make a bigger one. When I couldn't finish it, I was just sick of seeing it... I was totally burned out, and I felt guilty for it...

Anyway, I used to be a perfectionist, maybe overly ambitious, and care a little too much about what others thought. This time, I'm approaching everything with a motto: "Finished, not perfect."

And I won't let things get to me because it's my blog after all. No one ever expected all these huge things from me, and I shouldn't have let myself think I was hurting people by not breaking myself over it. It's okay for things to be simple; it's okay if every line doesn't fall into place perfectly. There will always be more art to make.

*looks at my askbox on \@ask-a-winking-pkm and thinks about all the grass I'm gonna need to draw*

Sorry everyone who loved my grass, but drawing each blade individually is destroying my sanity.

It needs to die now.
