I wanted to be a comic book artist. I can draw, I don’t do it as often as I should, and I’m not bad at it. I wanted to make comic books, get them published at an independent level, and maybe someone would read them. I could just never finish anything I started. I’d have all these great ideas for a story but I would just end up word vomiting them on a page and didn’t know how to expand on it or draw it out. Same thing when I’d try to write a story/novel. How could I create something with several chapters when I just spew everything out within a few pages. So I gave up.
You probably have, but it doesn’t hurt to siggest it, have you tried jotting down your ideas in another format ? On a white board (real/digital) in a mindmap, in separate notes (looking at you obsidian) as sketchy panels etc.
It’s not guaranteed to come out exactly how you expected it to, but it should get you pas that block and give you ideas of how to improve your workflow ;)
