Hello all, I come with my doubts and thoughts on the subject matter we call writing.
As a young girl my face was always buried in a book. They may have been terrible books (*coughbabysittersclub*), but that's what I loved to do. I was also always coming up with stories, and writing them was so very easy to do.
Now a days, it's hard. I can't seem to write unless I'm being pushed or I force myself. Any idea I think is good, I hate it the next day. I don't feel connected to any of them either. I still have my heart for my old characters, but that's about it.
I also don't read as much. I have a book in my purse that I carry around, but I don't pick it up and randomly read. Maybe it's not good, but I just don't.
I still come up with characters and some stories for them, but it never goes very far.
I also love to draw, and pixel art. People think I'm very good at it and some believe I should sell my work professionally. The thing is, I'm only good at drawing people, some animals, and no background. Also, I do better with sketches, so it's not like I can paint or anything.
I used to want to be a character designer for a video game company (I love gaming a lot), but I realized after awhile I wanted my own ideas included. I thought about collaborating with others, but I would love to have some input rather than the partner just telling me what to do.
I still have that desire to create and have my name on a book. But I can't seem to get there, and I'm not really sure what I really want to do. If I have to force myself to write, then maybe writing is not what I should be doing.
I wish I knew...
