What did the toilet say to the bathtub?
Guys, I have to level with you…
In agreeing to write stories involving your characters, I wasn't being honest with myself. The fact is, I can't really write anything that doesn't belong to me. Writing is much more personal to me than drawing is. Drawing a character isn't tricky the way writing a character is. I have to study more than a character’s appearance when I write, I also have to consider motives, backstory, body language, conflict, psychological profile, relationships and the like, not to mention setting and plot. At this point in my life, it's just too overwhelming to try to take on the responsibility of another person's character, something that I expect is very personal to you.
What I will do instead is guide you towards writing your own stories, building your own settings, developing your own characters. I'll still do this for free, and I'll be available on Wednesdays and Fridays, 6:00-7:30 PM, CDT.

I know how it feels to try and handle someone else's character with care and consideration. It can be a nerve-racking challenge, especially when you want to present them as faithfully as possible. Nonetheless, it's a challenge worth taking.
Since you took the time to take on this challenge, you don't need to worry about whether or not you saw it through to the end. As they say, trying is better than not trying at all.
