@Marley: Which item are you still looking for? I can give you an Acrobat.






@Wildfire: yep, I get it now. Like a little errant detail that sticks its thorns in. Or something XD






@Wildfire: oh dear, it sounds like you caught it just in time. I won't pretend to understand art but I do understand how little things can affect the bigger picture (literally and metaphorically lol).






@Wildfire: Oh I get it. Yeah, I can see how that would be annoying :O






@Wildfire: oh no! is it a big thing you have to redo?






@Wildfire: I hate deadlines for exactly that reason :O That's why I try and finish any stories with deadlines as quickly as possible, to factor in the time spent staring at the page in frustration lol.






@Wildfire: that's not being a downer imo. Art is often difficult, but we love it so we do it anyway. :)






@Wildfire: yeah, the tedious parts sure do tend to overpower the good parts sometimes. I think I have been super blessed lately because I haven't really struggled with being inspired. It's all come quite naturally to me lately, for some reason??? I'm not complaining! Although there is one story I have yet to finish.....






@Wildfire: I know right!! When does the easy part start? (I jest, I love the creative process really....) XD






@Kairu: oh right, well thanks for the info :) I will have to have a think about if any of my works would be the right fit for comics, because they're usually pretty heavy on exposition with not so much dialogue.

@Wildfire: yess! <3 art is suffering, or so they say, lmao.






@Kairu: I can't draw! Like, at all. Any comic I made would be a stain on the art lol.

@Wildfire: all that being said, I would so much rather be starting a new story lmao. Typical! I will persevere, even if it feels like a slog now.






@Kairu: I agree. I usually don't want to change a story too much but the little details often get hacked up in the editing process lol.






@Wildfire: I still like it. I'm able to look at it objectively and realise that it does have some issues, but nothing I can't fix. It's a good story. Going through edits is probably my least favourite part of the writing process, except maybe formatting a manuscript for publication. It is like wading through mud lmao.






@Wildfire: Yep! I'm reading through it now :)
