Spring Break
Impossible Physics
Sorry for being so late! I have been dealing with quite the homework load and I have had some important exams for the last week and few days. I know that I missed a week and that I am late for this week as well. I am just going to pick up from here. I will do my best to be consistent, but here in a month or so I may have to take a few weeks off for finals.

Don't we all have this problem? We have great ideas that are absolutely amazing, but the starting point always seems to elude us?

Happens to me, too. I recall stories that only went as far as titles. "The Terrible Fossil" ,"The Lovers" and such. I don't even recall what the story was to be about. Something about a tunnel world...

Permanent writer's block is one reason why I stopped cartooning some 20 years ago, and recently wrapped up my text fan-fiction.

      I think writer's block is something that ails all artists. Even painters, musicians, and any other art-form that exists. That is kind of why I created this. It was actually one of the first comics I had ever wrote (about a year ago) but I found it again and decided that it seemed worthy to be drawn and published. I know I experience my fair share of writer's block . . . we all do. Any artist or reasonable person working on anything even like designing a building or engineering a new machine reaches points of which our brain seems fresh out of ideas and decent thoughts. It is like we use up all the creativity that is left within us.
      It is important though that we keep on creating and expressing ourselves in art. It is one of the very things that make us all human and builds a diversity within culture and ideals between one person to another. For some of us it takes years before we could ever even consider creating an art (I have been working on the idea of this comic for over 5 years!) even worth creating. There is no shame in taking a long break from our works and efforts (even if it is for a long time). I myself try new things to break me out of my non-creative slumps. I try new arts like painting and I try new things like foods and classes and I just try to expose myself to new concepts overall.
     To be honest I have hundreds of titles that have ever remained titles. I have stories that turned out to be just burned or ripped up pieces of paper, I have written and drawn notebooks upon notebooks of ideas, poems, comics, inventions, and more! It is just putting them farther than that is what proves  to me to be one of the hardest challenges. I do admire greatly that you have been publishing your work online on sites like this one! That really takes a lot of courage and confidence to expose your works to the world and to open criticism. You have done what I am just barely getting around to doing! It seems to me like you have great initiative. You may be done with cartooning and now the fan-fiction, but I am sure that if you want too you'll find the next great work that you will start on.
     Thank you so much for commenting on my work, you are actually the first to ever comment on my work that I have submitted on this site! I really do appreciate it!

Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith both had the same accumulations of "titles, ideas, etc." and they were eventually published - as commonplace book (Lovecraft) or the Black Book (Smith). Many of the latter did eventually become full-fledged stories, before Smith retired or died.
Derleth worked on some ideas of the former and produced mythos tales whose plot-flows were hardly suggested by the fragments or ideas left by Lovecraft (three short pieces were used in LURKER AT THE THRESHOLD, and only one was installed almost verbatim -with needless changes).

In short, jot all your titles and ideas into a Black Book and publish THAT.

Age and medical problems might have been factors in my writer's block. Plus,my art did not express my vision.

I certainly can not write like Thomas Hardy and his "extraordinary charm".

I guess that kind of falls true for a lot of people. We do what we can to write and create, who knows what will become of our work one day. I know that many are rarely recognized for their works until they have already passed away. It is interesting how that is. I am sure that you do a fine job. I feel that any artist is never totally satisfied with their own work. I have a few friends that make wonderful pieces of work but they are constantly nit-picking it apart and taking what I see to be an amazing piece of work and in their own eyes they see the errors and faults they made. I guess it really goes with the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I am sure that for many out there your work is amazing, the hard part is finding those people that do appreciate it. I don't think that I will ever be as good as a comic artist like Bill Waterson, or Charles Schulz. Their works seem so original and creative. I feel completely inept when I compare my ideas to what they have published. The best I guess we can do is continue to grow and try. I mean we really don't loose much either way, but there is more to be gained when we reach forward and attempt to accomplish the dreams and visions we have.

Well, I wrote a 100-pg sequel to "Alice in Wonderland" which I titled "Casper in Wonderland" and I also wrote "Casper in Oz" which I consider the acme of my writing. Before the pace began to flag, I also wrote "The Third Lifeform", a CasperXAstroBoy adventure.

 The stories wrote themselves, words just gushed from my fingers into my typewriter (and into my word-processor later). Now I have a writer's block. The next to the last book showed my struggle with fading inspiration, and my last book (see my 32-pg incomplete Bartelby book in the gallery here) is a brief lifting of writer's block & part of a fragment addendum.IF you have any acquaintance with AlexReynard and his oft outrageoius, even HIDEOUS concepts*, then you know what fired my imagination. The story for about 40 pgs ,wrote itself ! After that, summaries exist... Working titles incl. THE GIFT FROM ABOVE and THE INSIDIOUS INVASIONS. Twice cut down, it may finalize as THE RETURN OF BARTELBY.

* Also on InkBunny. He removed a lot of pics even in scraps, but ...
