i keep having some points of feeling mildly guilty about scripting another webcomic after putting my old one on indefinite hiatus but. idk man, i think it's gonna really work out this time around. im hesitantly letting myself get excited for it

#gonna ramble in the tags but uh #i really do intend to return to somebysickness one day. its just getting major revamps #and im prepared to take a Much longer time figuring it out this time #bc i really did jump right into biting off WAY more than i could chew #with SBS being an entirely new universe with huge amounts of culture and backstory #i think my problem was starting pages before i even had a script for what happens after the first chapter #my new project EYHO i think is a better starting place for a webcomic ya know?#in a universe ive had since middleschool so a lot of this lore has been longsince folded into my memory #the way magic and creatures work is already figured out. the only thing im actually brainstorming is the plot #and having Cloudy & Pearl as important characters means backstories ive also had for #nearly a decade for Pearl and straight up since i was 8 for cloudy #now its just weaving those two stories together and fleshing out the supporting characters. adapting what no longer fits the lore #and im also taking how i write it much more seriously bc im clearly not the type to fly by the seat of my pants for a story #will not be starting the comic itself until the whole thing is scripted and at least the prologue+first chap are drawn #technically the script will just be all the big important scenes. i think its good to have the smaller scenes #be something i come up with as i go. good to have some wiggle room #but otherwise the Main Plot is set already #anyways. i wanted something serious to work on as i edit EOTA #bc i need breaks from staring at words all day til my brain leaks out my ears #and im thinking this new comic will be that. and if i dont stay interested long enough to start it?#at least itll be scripted for when i am ready
