I keep writing stuff over the course of summer, making made up ideas from what I know and change the directions. Or do rapid one shots to get a fun time with it. I go in all the E to A rated storylines and use archetypes to use it just for the basement of the foundation instead of just making the whole story blend and so boring. I love stereotypes these days, but I make it good rather than pointless dialogues and etc.
Conflicts are a bit more good, still do random plots on the go, to some extend. But I think I should create a new method for me specifically. Like, instead of a straight line of consequences, I could make a puzzle like plot to put what I see fit in it. And also rewrite some parts of The Detective's Diary that I feel lack depth. But that's a long process for me right now.
As I usually get sick of doing the same shit over and over. Since lack of self gratification I guess or maybe I am just impatient. I think I could just put a deadline to myself and not say it online. To help me get to a real and more confident story writer.
I want to do a rated E horror story, like those tales from the crypts or Goosbumps. Would be cool to pull this off. Since E rating remove like gore, blood and anything too mature. Will have to make something that is not made from those two franchise too. Since I want to make it original and if it's really that hard to make. I will have to do a mashup I guess or use a more basic plot to have something interesting to had in it.
The shining is a great story for psychological horror, so maybe I could use that for a base and take other inspirations or stereotypes to make something way different than the mature horror of The Shining.
And, yeah I still do A writing stuff and I won't really post them since its on paper and etc. But I really like to experiment with the relationships this time. I know I went berserk with the group and etc years before. And personally, I am tired of that stuff. It doesn't make the plot better with adding many characters or events at once.
So, I try to be more sensual or personal in the plot or scenes. Less about quantity, more about quality. Which is kinda good I started in the worst category first sorta. But anyway, I figure things out.
Characters personalities, attitudes and situations wise plots are another thing I am looking for this summer. Because I know I used to be more lore focused or more descriptive than the rest. When I do characters interactions, I tend to skip it after a while.
When I read it, there is more I wish I added here or there. But I feel like its okay to lack something. The "Wanting to have more" Feeling is maybe good sometimes, but it needs payoffs.
The Detective's Diary is my first long story so far, but I feel I learned so much through it. I would have redo alot but I think it's better to let the errors there as a momento of my progress in writing stories.
I draw on paper too, I don't have a phone anymore. Since it broke like 1 year and 6 months I guess. And to be fair, it's better I learn without having to show off my progress and forgetting the purpose of training in this area.
My main goal is to make multiple characters in one frame and make it look natural and well aligned in the scene. Since it's hard to do.. Lets say a fight scene with two characters facing each other or using different angles while through the fight to be less and less repetitive.
I want to progress in that before posting my comic, because yeah. I finished a couple of plots and I am just stuck with that angle thing and the scenes are whats make a good comic.
No one likes a rushed mess, and specially a fight scene that as just a single well shot but the rest make it feels like it was nothing. Berserk Manga was amazing in so many points of the reading, some graphic novels are good too when its about fighting and etc.
I want to draw choreographic scenes that feels just right to look at. Maybe I am asking too much but who cares. Better do shit I love and nobody bothers me with it. Then failing me and failing a second time with the net.
Anyway, just my two cents about what I care and to let the hyenas yaps about it online somewhere. I prefer to be left alone with my work than being preoccupied by nothing.
I want to thank people who were positive with me or gived me a tap on the shoulder even when things got bad. And I wish everyone, regardless who is reading this. A great summer to have fun with.
Take care and I will take time to make my craft. And so are you, artists, writers and musicians.

Oh, I see. Take as much time as you need. I understand where you're coming from. Although I'm not a huge fan of using outdated stereotypes for the sake of auto-including them anyway, I understand why you wanna use them in a way that it's making fun of them, rather than using them to classify one type of person. Keep up the great work though.

Basically I am not going to post that here, but I just want to understand the typecal mistakes it may cause.
