WE ONTO THE DREAMWALKER ERA BAYBEE (when i figure out that the fuck to do with it first)
...i should share some of my characters, huh?
your feedback is greatly appreciated.
"so, how've you been?"
I glance at sat, a perplexed look spreading across my face. "what do you mean? you've been by my side this whole time."
sat looks on at the sky. "I may have been by your side while you were in the deepest sleep, but I wasn't by your mind. I can tell something happened in there. you haven't quite been yourself, lately. you've been quieter, and glancing around more. I feel you shaking when I embrace you, and your voice doesn't carry the liveliness it once had."
sat sits up and looks at me, wearing a fearful expression. "sun, I'm worried for you. please, I know it's a selfish request, but I just want to know how I can help you. if I can help..."
I lay back down, my gaze cast upon the skies. "let me tell you a story..."
finally got around to drawing one of my characters.
"cracks started to form along my body. my face.
they creeped out from my being and ripped apart my captors, my cell, and their hideout. it all crumbled beneath my feet.
and I laughed.
I laughed a sorrowful laugh, mourning the death of the person I once was.
they had won.
I had been reborn anew.
I was their secret weapon."
-Jay's story.

ALRIGHTY THEN NO CONTEXT FOR YOU
your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Okay, so I may or may not be getting a drawing tablet in a few months, so the comic is on hold until then, as well as the break.
Story is doing well, though.
Uh...
I have some new character concepts...
Um...
Okay, I've run out of things to say. See ya.
I'm struggling really bad right now.
not because of depression or anxiety or anything like that—I'm fairly used to that by now.
what I mean is whether or not I should slowly and gradually share my characters through the stories I have yet to complete.
OR
if I should just throw them at y'all and get it over with, giving me even less incentive to finish writing and fleshing out my stories.
if you have a recommendation for what course of action I should take, please feel free to tell me, because I am indecisive as fuck and don't know what to do.
A lot of my characters in my books are inspired by music. The vibes the music encapsulates within itself is one of my main sources of character ideas.
So if you ever read a work of mine and get the vague feeling that you want to listen to Camelia or Tally Hall, now you know why.
Me, phone off, stylus put away, no notebook or pencils in sight: "man, I can't wait to draw my characters for the stories I'm writing!"
Me, stylus in hand on ibis paint: "ah yes, what a horrific abomination I've created today."
Me, listening to music, Google docs closed: "man, I've got so many cool ideas for some books."
Me, Google doc open on the screen, my fingers hovering over the keyboard: "this shit has so many plot holes that just reading it is a tripping hazard."
well, syloboy's having a tough time trying to pick something to share right now, so I'm just gonna use a poll to help speed things up.
so for the 2 people that actually look at this blog:
