Is silly how people think I'm constantly wasting time
in the puter because I "chat too much with my online
friends". The only one wasting time by themselves is
_only_ me. I'm the moron here. January, 13-14 2025
That's all I wrote then, I've been slacking off on
writing, but I've been focusing on drawing; which is
also good. January, 14-15 2025 Another productive
day, I feel really nice today. My life is taking a
small turn into the good, I can't be sure it'll last
a lot, but tonight I feel nice.
### On how to start your project
By project I mean story, it can be any media, comic,
tv show, movie, video game, and so on. First, you
have to get familiarized with what you're gonna do, a
story, in any media. See how other people do it and
try to take small bits of these things you liked
about their project/stories, for yourself. But is not
about doing a copy-paste, is more about taking
inspiration and giving it your personal twist.
Say you want to make a story about a baby bird who's
learning to fly. The person you are taking
inspiration from, made it so the bird learn from a
friend. But you can change what happens in the end,
by mixing different things you like; thinking 'what
if', or thinking how would you make the story better.
Once you have enough references for what you want to
work on, you should start by typing a rough draft, a
single line of what's your story about. Like "Story
about a fallen angel who fell in love with a demon"
as simple as you can make it. Then, the best path is
to start working on a lore book, this is where all
the information should be; is only for you to know
everything about the story you're making. Note that
if you're new at this, try to make the story as short
and simple as you can. Is not advised to adventure on
a long and complex story when it's your first time or
you're an amateur. Once you have all the information
you can think about, it's time for the next step.
Now you have to prepare _how_ are you going to tell
the story to your audience, in here is also important
to think about what kind of audience you'll point
your content to. This is important because you can't
just be completely self indulgent and ignore how the
people are going to look at your work. This part is
also quite difficult, because you need to make sure
your story is presented in a way that makes people
interested to keep reading, engaged. That's the main
job of the first chapter, or bit, if your story is
going to be short. Make sure that, if you read/watch
it yourself, you can successfully corroborate that's
interesting to you; try to pretend you're just
another rando part of the audience.
