I'm still feeling a little Down, but I'm feeling a bit better now. Drawing (specifically coloring) has been helping out a lot. But that’s not what this journal is about. 

For those of you who don't know, I've had a story that I've wanted to tell for years now. It’s a story that is really close to my heart. It has helped (and continues to help) me through some hard times, and I can’t wait to share it with you guys. 

Slowly I've been making progress, like refining the plot, the characters, etc. Yesterday, when I really hit a lot point, I thought:

'Why haven't I just started drawing this yet!?' 

I can think of a couple reasons:

- You’re attending university and the workload is hard enough!
- You already have a comic that you’re working on, and it isn’t finished yet (barley even halfway)! 
- You have a habit of biting off more than you can chew! Look at how many side projects you’re signed up for!
- You should be working on you’re portfolio, or at least do something that gets you money! 
- You aren’t at the skill level yet! Didn’t you want this to be special? You have trouble drawing humans, how do you expect to be able to draw them in action poses!
- You still don’t know what half the characters are going to look like. You don’t even know what kind of buildings to draw for the city! And you can’t look up references because you don’t even know what kind of architecture it is!
- How are you even going to draw Chapter 01?
- What if the name's copyrighted!?
- Sure, you have a basic idea of what’s going to happen, but you don’t even know what the chapters are going to be about!
- You’ve been building up this story in you’re head for so long, that once you start to draw it, you’re going to let yourself (and everybody who reads it) down. 

And that list, with that evil voice inside my head, goes on and on and on. But they all have one thing in common, it’s because I’m afraid. And oddly enough that’s what this story is about. How to deal with fear, and to not let it dictate your actions. 

I don’t know when I’m going to start drawing this story, and even when I do, I don’t know when I’ll be posting pages. But I’m hoping it’s something for you guys to be on the look out for.  

Big shout out to ’s journal entry: Tell the Stories that Save you, because that has been on my mind a lot since writing this.
