If I didn’t have as much spare time as I do, I would be overcome by all my projects and would fail miserably at my hobbies. Why? Because I swarm myself with new projects. I have always loved the idea of starting from the bottom and going up, both in a story and in a real life sense. I’ve always LOVED the earlier books in manga series where the main character is an underdog trying to get himself higher up in the ranks. Air Gear, Negima, Naruto, Bleach, etc.; shounen comics that have a guy who constantly needs to get better intrigue me so much not only because there are always cool ideas for powers, weapons, and themes in them, but because I get to see the character starting out as a weakling.

But in real life, this applies to my projects. A project is always SO exciting the very moment I get the idea and start on it all. The first few pages and design sketches always make me so happy. Not to say that I always lose interest in stories once they get further along(I’m still obsessed with my Imaginary Sister story), it’s just that the start is always the point of most excitement. In video games as well, I always love starting out and getting the first few powerups; I feel like I’ve accomplished something.

Thing is, I always wind up wanting to replicate this starting out feeling so much, and I always seem to get so many new story ideas. I think in stories; tell me about anything I find remotely interesting and I’ll immediately start thinking of how I can turn it into a story idea. Most of the time I fail to get anything, but I get good ideas enough that I’m starting projects right and left, and that’s a problem for me. Most of the time I can very well manage it, but sometimes I feel a bit overwhelmed, especially in the situation I have right now. I want to play LOTS of video games all the time, I have no muse for scripting, yet I have 3-4 different comics all in dire need of more scripting to be done.

Wish me luck, guys. I’m gonna need it.
