I've been writing a story for fucking years. Planning to make a comic book. Did a work count today, I'm up to fucking 10,000 words. It's 22 pages long. Now I'm like... wtf this is impossible. I'm frozen. How in the fuck do you draw the first panel? How do you turn a sentence into an illustration? And I can't draw bodies. I only ever draw faces. I just ordered Michael Hampton's Figure Drawing book. Now I'm on an extremely steep learning curve. To learn to draw people, and how to illustrate a comic book, and this is the first story I ever wrote. wtf

Oh god I'm so ill prepared.

whatever you do, stay away from weed. you are in a perfect state to have a full blown anxiety attack. i think you have to put your priorities in order. i had a friend who was 550 lbs. and he told me something similar to what youre saying. everyone knows just eat less and work out but he cant bring himself to do it. and when we talked about it, what it really came down to was he was always fat, his parents were fat and overfed him. he felt like it wasnt his fault. and i told him, being an adult means taking responsibility for things that werent your fault. i know its not fair. i know you got dealt a bad hand in life. but there is no cosmic justice to right things. it might not be fair but you do have to work harder than most people for the things you want. im not saying its right, im saying its the only way. it comes down to how bad do you want something and how much are you willing to suffer for it? if you were really in love with something you might be wiling to feel hunger pains for it. i think i got a lot of this fro the book the war of art. it's a quick read. but yea dude depression clouds your judgment ,saps your energy, you will have to do something drastic. you will have to force yourself to be very uncomfortable for a while. one of the things about the gym a lot of people dont know is... as annoying as it is when you start, you dont get used to it. it doesnt get easier over time. it gets harder actually. it takes more work and more discomfort to see progress. its really how hard you want to work, how bad do you want it.
