withering-lilies:

Sometimes it’s hard to be so invested into your own comic. I must think about the plot and the characters practically 24/7 and it kinda feels like you are in a fandom no one really knows about or cares to discuss. I mean just to give an example, as I listen to “Sunshine”OST there’s this track…

Hah yes this sounds very familiar. Most of the time when I daydream, I daydream about my comic :-D But it’s a good thing I’ve still got my passion for this project after 3+ years.

Also I sometimes get really giddy and excited when I think up a new plot development but there’s NO ONE I can share it with! Very frustrating. Yet even if I did tell someone, they’d just go “oh okay…” because none of this sounds very impressive in plain words and out of context.

The only solution is to keep drawing until I get to the good part :( Such is life

  9. evelynhewett said: My characters pretty much never leave me be XD I think the only way i can exorcise them is to draw them, then their stories are set in ink and don’t change. up until then they’re forever making changes and adding new bits to their story.

  13. gothyinpink said: I have been a sole fan of my own fandom for 8 years or so now. I had to cross out 99% of my friends off the list of people willing to listen about it. And while my boyfriend always lets me write a wall of text, his response usually sums up to “I see”
