Thinking about trying writing?
11 years ago
I somewhat recently made a friend who writes. Like all the time. And it's given me the itch to start writing. Was just curious if anybody here would like to see any writing from me? I could even make some accompanying images to enhance the stories! Still deciding if I want to just make one-shot little stories or if I want to write chapters that all go together. Might do both.
What sort of content would you like to see? It will probably be only my own characters for quite a while. I'm certainly not comfortable writing other people's characters in for fear of being unable to keep them in character. ;u;
Let me know what you think?

I try and write, but all my writing time goes on uni work at the moment. I've barely dabbled with my fictional universe.
I have had an idea for an adult comic, but I know I'd never have time to draw it. I don't know how I would approach an artist about collaborating. I certainly don't expect money out of it.
It's meant to be brutal, explaining why he has the issues he does, later in life.
I have put a couple of pieces on literotica. There is this one http://www.literotica.com/s/the-antagonists which is just a silly piece set in the same universe. I regret writing it now, because I want to keep my canon characters (assuming i ever write these damn stories) 'clean', as it were.
This one is, well, just straight-out gay porn: http://www.literotica.com/s/handyman-4
All the writing I'm doing write now, though, is academic: philosophy and suchlike, for my uni degree.
Yeah, one other problem I face is that I'm a major perfectionist and it's not that I don't want to go back and revise/edit later, it's that IT HAS TO BE RIGHT THE WHOLE TIME. :C So I'm trying to work past my perfectionism and be willing to just write a ROUGH draft to later go back and make all pretty. Unfortunately, it's hard for me to plan ahead in a story :/ so it's hard to like..jot ideas and outline...
It took me a long time to get past that, with drawing and design work: to just work in minute detail, from left to right. Instead, I had to learn to sketch the broad canvas, then go over a bit finer, then touch in the fine details where they were needed.
Writing is no different. Stephen King's book, 'On Writing', I highly recommend. Even if you're not a Stephen King fan (which I'm not). He says in that, that the first draft should just be written without going back over or rethinking.
His books don't do much for me, but he seems like someone I'd really like in person.
