Hi, everyone! I just want to give a big, gracious thank-you for the birthday wishes, even if I've hardly been active these days ;w;

You all have the patience of saints. XD
But yeah, there's been a mix of schoolwork, tablet problems, and personal issues irl preventing me from making more digital art. However, I'll be sure to get more out this year! I have some new ideas in mind. Stay tuned

Come check out ! We're in need of some new members, so if you would enjoy making a character for a postapocalyptic setting, and fighting monsters and whatnot, please come and join!

Heya. So, you might have noticed that I've fallen into a creative slump. In fact, I've been in one for quite a while, especially where my writing is concerned, and this can be attributed to many factors. Lack of plot ideas, lack of proper time to sit down and work it out, no fellow writers to really go over it with... But I think the main reason is my own self-doubt. 
As the years go by, I've become more and more of a perfectionist, to the point where nothing I ever wrote seemed good enough. I put a lot of hard work into writing my worlds, and my characters, and making sure everything within my universe makes sense. It takes a lot of brain-racking for me to even produce something halfway decent, at least in my eyes. I struggle to try and write from my heart the things that I enjoy writing, but also make sure it's something that my audience enjoys reading. I try to balance between writing a sound story and writing genuine emotion, making sure people feel for the characters involved, enjoy watching them throughout the story, and see them eventually succeed in their endeavors.
And when I saw that people around me are doing the same job I'm doing, but much better, and seemingly with no effort at all, it just makes me think... What hope do I have of success in the writing industry when I can't even put together a fully-formed chapter due to being held back by my insecurities? 
I don't want to give up writing. I would never want that; storytelling is part of me. But at the moment, I'm just... stuck. 
Am I overthinking this whole thing? Am I not thinking enough? Please, if you have any help or advice for me, I'm getting desperate. I'll take anything. I just want to get writing again. I want to make work that I can be proud of, work that comes from my heart and soul.
Thank you for listening. 

I keep trying to do a Night in the Woods fanart
