Yeah, pretty much!!  When I was a kid I, of course, wanted to write my own stories; but the idea of writing to me as an adult seemed crazy.  I read a ton, of course!  But never write - and never write to an end for drawing or painting!
& now that I am, for this course, I am so excited it's crazy.  It reminds me of being new to art and starting DAD all over again, weirdly.  There's an Adrian Bush interview/his Underpaint (I think) that goes into basically the exact same stuff, perhaps even more... abstractly.  He writes a lot, too, and given how his illustrations tell such a massive story in one frame, it kinda makes sense now!

BUT YEAH I'm really excited, I've been writing at least 2 or 3 throughlines a day -- the purpose is to try skim the outer later of your thoughts away, get away from all the media you take in and your day-to-day and dig deeper into your psyche as a mechanism to allow for more creative & personal freedom.  I am a basic bitch, apparently, I keep ending up on like the most vanilla sci-fi topics, BUT IT'S A START.      
He's said it's gonna take time to actually, truly, learn to go deep & I desperately feel lacking in the creativity department so I know I have a long way to go.  It feels like the perfect place in my art journey to do this, too.  I am like entering /int/ and while yeah fundies fundies fundies studies whatever, I am so fucking bored of that all, I want to learn to express and all that shit can just tag along for awhile. !!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok

my main character trait is that im an artist!!! got back into fandom & digital illustration (& yaoi) as a coping mechanism for grad school so nowadays ive always got somethin cooking. doing a lot of massive oil paintings for school that i dont really share anywhere online, so it'd be fun to post them here instead!!

i also love love videogames! especially any game where you can explore an environment or collect a bunch of stuff (finally realized that im a metroidvania fan too lol)

anyways Fun Fact my main forum experience when i was a kid was on an mmo site called Whirled under the name xevefox. so yes ive always been this cool
