Anyways, I wanna say that i REALLY love your art!!! It's so beautiful, clean and expressive. It looks simple but not bland. It's easy to appreciate the detail because it isn't at all overcrowded ❤️

Yep! living in Philippines all her life and it's a big pain in the ass to be living here but we're surviving

what can i do?

thanks ❤️

Start writing the first draft and don't worry about it until after you are done!

It is 100% okay for outlines and first drafts to be messy and not make total sense all the time because you can tackle the particulars when rewriting and editing. Your outline is full of wonderful ideas and actually writing them out will let you work through them and understand what is really happening much better than an outline will. And sometimes the story will change as you write it so you won't even know for sure until the end.

does anyone know if i could submit a work a month late?

the heck with it! Im gonna post it anyway when it's done.

thanks for the support.

it's nice to know that even if i barely have any original content here, there are kind people supporting the blog ❤️

I'm currently writing this low fantasy story where I take superstitions and folklore from my culture and make them... well... fantastical.

sort of like what Rick Riordan did with Greek Mythology.

I've really been excited with this project, and I've barely begun. I'm going on a second round of outlining cuz I feel the plot's still pretty messy and generic. The idea is still pretty vague.

I'm following the three act story template. If you have any advice on outlining character driven stories with ridiculous magic stuff happening to the characters, if you don't mind, please share?

Hope you're having a great day! Love your blog btw 💖💖💖

Thanks 💖

that sounds AWESOME!!! :D and i love love LOVE how enthusiastic and excited you for it!!! that's wonderful!!!

As far as outlining goes, I'm 90% pantser. I usually have a few bullet points for the overall story and scene notes, and go from there. So I don't have any personal tips for outlining that I can offer unfortunately.

I do know there are A TON of ways you can outline though, so keep trying stuff to see what works for you! :)

So I tried drawing...

What do you guys think?

Im honestly really proud of this. It's one of the best drawings I've ever done.

And for you guys to understand exactly how much cleaning up I had to do to make this look remotely good, here's the sketch:
