Every single time I come up with a short story idea, I like the characters/concepts/worldbuilding too much to use it. ಥ_ಥ

Recently I came up with a premise for a short story, but decided against it on the basis that the ending was too ambiguous and the story itself was too dark for the intended audience. (I don't toss these things out; I just wasn't going to use that storyline for what I'm working on.) So I came up with another storyline to replace it, which is sadder and rather more bland and generic and also less disturbing, but I don't want to use that one either because I really love the imagery and the feel to the world that it's set in. And I don't want to give up any part of that to anyone else, at least not right now.

This is my problem a lot of the time, that I like the things I visualize too much to share them. And when I do post them, I start to like them a lot less. /: But the problem is also that I can't construct a story/world/characters well if I don't give a shit about it.

Anyway, there's a ridiculous number of things that could be added to my worklist right now, but I'm running out of time to work on this short comic, and I have no idea what the hell I'm going to draw for it. I: I wish I could draw cute and charming things without also making them creepy, but tbh cute and charming things bore me unless they're also creepy.

I swear I'm drawing the next idea that works, regardless of whether I adore it to pieces or not. ಠ_ಠ
