Heyo dear, I don't know if you remember me >_> I hope you do. I need to ask for advice, if that's okay. I really want to make a scifi/adventure webcomic and I've wanted to make it for YEARS, and I keep making new and new characters for it and I've got so many things planned but I can't seem to begin the comic, aside from that terrible first page I made once. How do I start the thing? I'm so afraid. I need to do this, but I can't seem to bring myself to begin. Sorry for the bothering.
That’s… really something I struggle with too. I can make the characters, but actually writing? Give me death.
Outlining helps. Even if it’s just super informal like, literally I will just go:
1) this happens2) then this happens3) causing this to happen4) until finally this5) and so, this.
That and just. Start. Typing. Like literally that is how I do it sometimes just. Force myself. I have to, because I have Brain Things like super-anxiety, depression, executive function stuff, and if I don’t MAKE MYSELF NOT THINK ABOUT THE THING and just BE DOING THE THING, I will never. Do the thing. Actually that’s kind of a good thought, don’t think of it as STARTING THE THING, just try to ‘be doing the thing.’
(sometimes if I can shift my thoughts from STARTING - which is HARD - into ‘i already AM doing the thing’ - which is a lot easier - it works.)
I don’t know, just a Weird Brain Trick I sometimes do to help with the… Brainweird. Hope that helps.
