To get to the point, I’m currently working on a manga and I’ve just come to a grinding halt and can’t really find the motivation to continue the project…I feel like I work on the story constantly progressing in my head and jot down notes but when it comes to thinking of how to bring my vision into the world, nothing feels adequate or satisfying. I’ve gone over it a bunch of times since the beginning: should I make it a manga? An animation? Should I just submit it to some studio to probably never see the light of day, and if it should; then not see a dime? Should I commission help? I’m too poor for that so, can’t do that. so I’ve just been hand drawing crappy panels in a basic storyboard-esque manner just to get the point across. Now, I’ve been out of touch with drawing for a long long time and idc what anyone says; it does NOT come to you like riding a bike. I’d almost be happier with stick figures at this point… Usually when all of that starts going through my head I tell myself “look at how one punch man originally started” and it gets me through a page or two, but the past few days I just can’t find any real motivation to pick up my book and pencil….I wish better luck to others working on things right now.
anyway thanks for taking the time to read my ridiculousness.
Thank you! This did actually help a lot. I think its my brain getting a case of the ick when the physical representation doesn’t match my mental image. Later I’m going to try to work on it a bit and I’ll just keep making sure to say “you’ve at least got something and something is progress.”
