Hm... have you ever thought about creating the "write mood" for writing? (If you'll pardon the pun...) It's all about getting comfortable enough to want to write (and of course, not become depressed). Maybe you want to wear something comfy? (Or maybe the opposite... I read in one of the books below that one author insisted upon writing in a full suit!) Maybe you want to turn the lights out and have candles burning? Maybe you want to have music playing in the background? Try experimenting and see what works for you :) It might help inspire you to write without becoming depressed.
Anyways, just my two cents... that, and I read about it (sans the depression bit) in a book (it was either "So You Want to Write a Novel" or "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Creative Writing"... I can't remember which ^_^U)
True, cuz then it’d be copyright infringement if it was exactly like Naruto in reverse. But I get what you mean.
Yippee!
I think a good number of phones can, so there’s a chance it can.
I do that too! And I’m glad that made you feel better.
Hehe, I’m excited to hear it!
That’s what I thought when I learned my dad was secretly hoarding a Medium Intuos 4 in his closet… I mean about committing to master digital. Though it does apply to leaving upgrading up in the air as well.
Then again, I could’ve just cut and pasted them in the correct order…
I find that I'm more creative at night, too. But sometimes I get depressed at night. Pretty much anything has the potential to get me depressed, and I don't want that when I write my stories. I guess it's a bit of a catch 22.
Call it karma. Call it luck. Me, I just don't give a... BOUNCE!
I've heard of Anime Studio, though I don't know how it works. But that would be cool.
It's not EXACTLY like Naruto in reverse. I'm just saying that it's Naruto's relationship with the nine-tailed fox in reverse.
I think I'm going to make the OC post right after I finish making all these comments.
No, I don't have any recording devices other than my computer. Maybe my phone can. I don't know. I'll have to check that out.
I've made checklists. I have a little Text file called "Stuff to Draw". Every time I draw something, I erase it from the list. You know, just sharing that makes me feel better for some reason.
Yep, I wrote the song myself. I think you'll find the one I intend to post either funny or dorky. I'm not sure which. But a friend of mine tells me it's catchy.
Elricz, you're absolutely right. I guess I will get the regular version of Manga Studio. I can always upgrade.
I actually think it's kind of amusing that you posted your comments in reverse.
Call it karma. Call it luck. Me, I just don't give a... BOUNCE!

Ooh, cookies :d But yeah, I have some more pics for 30DoA that I still haven't done yet; day 19 is sitting, partially colored, on my desk ._.
Writing frustrations? I hear ya; I'm having a bit of that myself. I feel like for me and my story, it's just slow going -_-U Writing at night is better for me (I'm more creative at night, I guess), so I feel like I'm just kind of wasting daytime writing hours if I'm not doing anything with my book >_< But it's good that you're getting things typed out :)
Cookies? As in the delicious kind or the kind that browsers use?
I would participate in the fandubbed manga! That would be awesome! **Brace yourself for all-caps OH MY GOSH I HAVE ANIME STUDIO AND WE CAN INPUT DRAWINGS AND I CAN ANIMATE IT AND IT WOULD BE AWESOME CUZ IF I GET PAPAGAYO THEN WE CAN DUB IT AND THE MOUTHCLAPS WILL MATCH THE WORDS AUTOMATICALLY!!!!
OOH! Naruto in reverse? I'd love to see how that would work.
Put out the option for the Ask Us! Meme, see if you get questions (I'm SURE you will, I have a few myself), and if need be, put it off for a little while.
Do you have an MP3 player with voice recording capabilities?! While you're driving, or at your parents' and you forgot your laptop, you can dictate what you wanna write, then get your laptop and listen to the recording and write it out! I don’t suggest while you’re buying groceries since people will think you’re crazy, talking to a little electronic device while trying to decide which head of lettuce looks the least bruised. Genius, no?
Posty post in July? OH YEAH. Now I remember.
As for the overwhelmingness, did you ever think of making a checklist with small steps designed to reach your ultimate goal? You don't even have to do all of everything at one time; split things up, do a little of this, a little of that, and BOOM! Suddenly everything's finished!
Bass guitar is awesome! (I almost wish I picked bass over acoustic guitar, since I almost never get around to playing it cuz chords are my enemy.) Yeshh, you should turn it into a full-blown song! Then you can totes give yourself all the credit—did I just type ‘totes’? *shot* Which makes me wonder, did you write said song? Or are you doing your own version of someone else’s song?
Hey, if it takes you three months, don't worry about it! A lot of us are far behind, so that's okay. Enter a Challenge or two while you're working through this big pile of stuffies, so you don't shut down and freak out. If you take a break from what you NEED to do and do something you WANT to do, then it'll be easier to get what needs to be done, done.
Hmm... think to yourself, if I upgrade, will I really commit to working with Manga Studio and take the time to master digital? (You can always get the not-extended version like I have, which is not as magical as the real thing BUT is more wallet-friendly and still is magical.)
Mine too. I'm getting slowly on track. I find it helps to plan your posts out and research an anime in advance of posting, cuz then you know exactly what you want to say and can just copy-paste it and voila, you have your post!
I just realized I totally commented in complete reverse of your topics... *derpness*
That's cool that your saving for a scanner! It would be a good investment. My sisters and I bought our All-in-one printer last year when it was on sale for back to school, so back to school time is a good time to buy office stuff.It's cool cuz you can scan and print. So if you print also, maybe an all in one printer would be good for you :)

I'm going to buy a special scanner with a larger scanning bed. It doesn't come with a printer, but that's OK since I don't do much printing.
