My Apologies

Tue Sep 8, 2009, 11:57 AM
  • Mood: Insecure
  • Listening to: Random list of "Awesome Songs"
  • Reading: Something I'm currently trying to write
  • Watching: Netflix Rentals "Welcome to the NHK"
  • Playing: Neopets
  • Eating: Pringles Super Stack
  • Drinking: Dr Pepper
About that last journal entry (which I will not delete because then I'd lose all of those uplifting, positive comments)...I'm really sorry if I worried or upset anyone. I had had a really, really bad day, and getting yelled at SO much for SO long really tore me down. I'm trying to correct my mistakes now by working hard at cleaning house and such. But now my back is acting up bad. (I have a really bad back. Walking around doing chores and bending down or even standing at the sink doing dishes just kills me.)

Anyway, I want to thank everyone that left me a comment on my last journal. Each one gave me a smile and made me realize that I wasn't really alone. All of my watchers are such wonderful people. I love you guys! :heart:

But to those who don't know, I constantly second guess myself when it comes to creative works like writing and art. I know I'm not the best or the worst, and that the things I do are uniquely mine, but that doesn't' stop the worries and insecurities that I have about my works.

I used to draw for fun. Now I don't have fun at all when I draw. Same goes for writing. And I don't know where I lost it.

But all that aside, I have to know if the things I AM doing are worth it. Do you guys LIKE it? Do you get excited when I announce new things or post up something new? My esteem is kaput anymore, to be brutally honest with myself...and again it has to do with that certain person that I feel I must impress. But are YOU GUYS impressed with my works?

I want to list out the projects I am currently working on or never finished. Could you please tell me if any of them are worth it? Do you look forward to any of them being completed? Which would you want to see done first? I know I'm asking a lot, but I really need this. I need to get myself organized and my priorities straight. And I need help to do it.

:bulletgreen: I am rewriting my Beetlejuice Afterlife series, starting with "A New Beginning", then "Dark Shadows".

:bulletgreen: I am also working on a third story in the BJA series, which I will finally reveal the title of here: "Knights of Ragnarok".

:bulletgreen: I started a short story yesterday which is about a legendary human that came over to the Neitherworld thousands of years ago and became immortal.

:bulletgreen: I have the Beetlejuice Original Character site to work on.

:bulletgreen: There is also my BJ Fan Site to work on.

:bulletgreen: The redesign of Kyle is still not completed.

:bulletgreen: I never did finish that "Ky-chan & 'Dri Adventures" comic.

:bulletgreen: I have a picture I started of Endri and Kyle pixel art, but it's far from finished.

:bulletgreen: The "Extreme Ways" comic is not finished. The pages are drawn out, but not "fixed up" like the first two pages.

:bulletgreen: The Beetlejuice and Lydia wedding picture that I did a while back that dA deleted because it had a Mucha stained glass window in the background, remember that one? I had been planning on replacing the picture in the window with something else so I could repost it.

:bulletgreen: I started a picture for a friend of mine's story "Love After Death", but I never completed it.

:bulletgreen: I started a colored version of this picture [link] but never finished it.

:bulletgreen: I also started a story called "Ghost Hunters" that I thought was very promising, but haven't gotten around to working on it in a long time.


I suppose that's all I could find right now. If there's anything anyone wants explained further, like story plots, just say so. I'll be happy to elaborate. But just tell me if anything looks interesting. Do you want to see anything up there completed? Which do you want me to work on first? Please, just let me know.


I have another question too. Does anyone honestly like my characters Endri and Kyle? Do you think they're interesting? I know I have a couple fans that like those two, but like I said...feeling really insecure about EVERYTHING. I'd like to think they're very original and unique. I mean, at the time I was creating Endri back in 2000-2001, I didn't know of anyone else who had created a son for Beetlejuice...who was an adult...that didn't like his father much...and that is almost completely opposite of much of what BJ is. If I'm not mistaken I am the first person to EVER give BJ a son! Especially an adult son. The trends I see around the internet seem to be that BJ has mostly daughters in their adolescent-teenage years. And that's just fine. All I'm saying is that I did something different right off the bat.

And lastly, I must know this. How many of you think that my OCs Endri and Kyle are, have been, or will ever be in a romantic relationship together? And I also would like to know if anyone would like to see that kind of thing from me in the future. Please be honest, because this is actually important to me.


Sorry to bother everyone again with my selfish nonsense. But I just thought I'd ask.

Thank you.

All it takes is one bad day to drive the sanest man to lunacy. That’s how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day. You had a bad day once, am I right? You had a bad day and everything changed, you snapped.

Most of your projects I hadn't heard of until now, to be completely honest. But I don't think you should give up any of them. However it might be better to limit yourself to a few, so that you don't get too overwhelmed.

...I really ought to be listening to my own advice...

But anyhow, I am looking forward to your projects, especially the site projects. And if you need any help with any of them, I'll always be around. :)

But I am especially glad to hear that you're feeling better. We all have crisises like these, and it is always important to remeember that you have people like us who care about you and are willing to listen to any sort of rant you may have.

Again, I'm glad to hear you're feeling better.

How did we get here? Well, I used to know you so well, yeah.
But how did we get here? Well, I think I know.
(I'm screaming I love you so well/My thoughts you can't decode)

I'd like to see most of the projects come to fruition personally, but like a couple others have said, start slow and only do a few at first. I think the ones I want first are the fan fiction. The fan sites are great, but for some reason my computer doesn't let me go there... so I'm personally in no hurry for you to make it better. I also adore fan art and I encourage you to pick at it, but I really want fan fiction.

Still pace yourself with the fan fiction. Please start at the beginning of the BJA series and work your way from there. If you start working on the third story and you haven't revised the first yet, you'll end up changing things and have to go back and change them again. No one needs that headache, trust me, I too know from experience.

I also deeply look forward to the story of the first Neitherworldian ^^. I would love to see that.

I also adore Kyle and Endri ^^. I don't think either of them surpasses my love for BJ, but they don't need to. Normally I'm annoyed by people making children for BJ, but your justification, originality, and all the shit you put Endri through made me feel like he deserved respect.

Then, Kyle amuses me to no end. The bet over the "black cracker" had me in stitches. I still get a chuckle over it as I type this.

Your ability to integrate believable original characters is a rare gift and I felt you succeded where many others fail.

BTW... I love yaoi. Kyle and Endri are bishi's who have a bond that could evolve into love. (Yaoi fan girl + possible pairing of bishi's = love ~ go for it), you've got this fan girl's support ^^ and possibly her drool.

Never ever show your scars. They’ll see them when the time is right. Never tell people of your pain, they don’t deserve to know it and if you show it off you don’t deserve to be telling it.
:iconremcycledn:
I didn't see the wedding pic. What was wrong with the stained glass window?

You just need to organize and get yourself excited about doing things. You know we love ya and look forward to your work.

I know this is general but I like all of your work and I'm not just saying it to boost your self-esteem.

I always look forward to your newest stuff or even revised work. Please know there are people who care!

Sorry I couldn't give a more detailed comment.
