Is anyone here working on a writing project? Personally I have an idea for a manga series about three girls who start a band, basically just K-On except the focus is actually on the music and not eating cake. The only problem is I have zero artistic ability and haven't written anything of such a scale before.

>>764>Is anyone here working on a writing project?uhh i've been writing technical reports for work
does that count?
No.767
>>764sounds like a fun idea. i used to be way more into kind of winging manga projects, but recently i've been wanting to get into writing manga one shots. like nice, consolidated 30-50 page stories that can let me practice the medium a little more.
if you're looking for a way to get started, i think the best tip i can ever give is to accept that the first few times will be shit, but you have to keep on going. figure out if you want merticulously planned panels, or to just make them up as you go. if you want a huge overarching plot in the back, or just to manically work on a certain number of panels/pages a day. starting is always hard, and continuing doesn't get much better, but looking back will always feel good.

>>764I've got a whole series that I've worked on since childhood.
Some of you have probably read my description of it on /monster/ back on 8chan Basically: it's about the far future where mankind is in a feudal society fighting each other for domination so they can decide who becomes Terran Emperor, and the main lord who can become Emperor is a young lad with a harem of genetically modified women, and then there's also this mercenary corps of hard ass motherfuckers that fight bandits, feudal armies and space barbarians and shit. Then there's magic which is basically about being schizo enough to alter reality through changing perceptions and illusions. There's also monster girls, Venus flytrap ayys, and God's entropy dream demons.

Anyone else have fixations that they research and write about endlessly, but have no one to share it with? A year or so ago I was very interested in a niche topic, and decided to research as much as I could into it. I would be going on archive.org and other websites finding as many resources as I could about what I was interested in, and cataloged a lot, but didn't know what to do with it exactly. I've considered writing a book, or making a wiki dedicated to it, but I'm not sure yet.
