Your Story Idea... is TOO Big. 

Your story idea is THICC

Fat it is, fluff

Sorry sir but your story is to big for its own good, I recommend to cut on some secondary characters and reduce its exposition. Try to substitute it with background characters and clever no dialogue storytelling and no sidequests for at least the first 3 or 4 chapters and see you next session. Do you have publisher's insurance or will it be fanfiction charge?

Me too, the entire time.

Me as well

Same

What else am I supposed to do in class? Pay attention? Pfft!

Same, honestly.

Warhammer?

Leman dönmez god no! I’m a Minecraft veteran 😂

Leman dönmez no? I don’t play Warhammer, I never got the rules I mean like an actual story that I’m writing It has nothing to do with games or shows it’s not a fanfiction 😂 y people so confusion?

Leman dönmez it’s about a bunch of space terrorist people wanting to suck up this alien element from a planet called Cuipra’s crust ultimately killing all life on the planet and main bois trying to stop it from happening That’s the main goal at it’s simplest form

@@Ace_2 wow, it would be such an action rush. but still the space terrorists and the neverending war kinda reminded me of warhammer. i also don't know much about it. my friend is a gamemaster, all i know ends there. but cool story

Include me in the circle of daydreaming too

He is on to us!

-cries in small attention span-

Normal person:watcha thinking? Daydreamers: Oh nothing Just that maybe there is a ninja after us who is trying to take picture of our noses because there might be some chips trying to take control of our brains so that they can make us sing an hypnotizing song that will make them world leaders

same dud

That just means that they hit in the right important spot for your creative self to improve.

I bet "Designing a Firefly-Farmer Crow Character in Procreate!" was one of the weirdest attacks I've ever made on you personally XD

I, uh... I read that really wrong at first. Here I am wondering how tities can attack someone ever, let alone every week. And they don't even have a good reason. Or any reason for that matter.

@@wasteoftime5848 Oh I've seen it happen. Many times. There were never any survivors. *vietnam flashbacks* I can still hear their muffled screams...

These replies are golden.

On the other hand, if you do try to draw it, you'll get better by leaps and bounds even though it'll look terrible, since you'll be trying something new!

Yohannai true and as long as you learn something at the end of it all, then it’s not a failure.

"Two fleets approach each other" - the most expensive five-word phrase to write into a movie script

Then you should write your first story and have someone with more talent draw it.

God Of Spaghett That’s insulting to everyone who’s trying to improve themselves so they can make a good story.

Yes

That means I am, in fact, a big brain

@@ZelphTheWebmancer I dont consider my self a big brain,but i have a big head

Ego > Jupiter

Now venom will want to eat your head

jojo? maybe something else because caesar salad getting stabbed...nah

Bruh😂

To soon.

Et tu, Brute?

Or Nero getting cornered

Im pretty sure we all are!!

Now that I’ve watched the video I’ve definitely started thinking about volume 0. I was thinking about an established couple’s first meeting maybe just to learn more about the comic creating process. I’ve got two Big™ ideas but have never really done more than headshots/static poses. I’ve done a lot of figure drawing the last year or so and no backgrounds. I keep putting things off because I don’t think I’m good enough that’s for sure. I kind of keep forgetting that I don’t have to show people the practice comics while I’m learning.

@@LysanDharker just stop brainstorming and put your head dawn and draw if that is what you want to do while your self conches mind developes the story or find someone else to draw.

Gray Jedi oh for sure, I already do that. But I also enjoy the planning process, so I tend to get sucked into it. Don’t get me wrong I’ve been drawing characters for about 10 years but transitioning from mugshots to full comic work is taking a while. I don’t mind though. Planning is fun.

Same dude

Same here

Lmao same

Yeah, same here hahahah

same here

Same

Lol same *me has four different endings to one story full of complicated lore and symbolism even though it may not be see. Made my own religions, huge time line stretching over 7000 years, own races, creatures, God's, and even aus for my endings. Even a simple flower or a moth has so much symbolism in my world you may not even notice it unless I make a whole pharagrapth explaining it And I've made the story, world, and hystory in about 3 years and I remember all of it from memory*

Small segmented stories that tie together seem to be quite successful, given that it demands fans to be in the journey for a long time. I've seen good applications of this in shows like Gravity Falls, Gwain Saga (created by GeoExe on RU-vid), and- oddly enough- Helluva Boss. Thanks for sharing those juicy details Zedrin!

Lol, while this Video I EXACTLY thought of you when he said Issue 0. Not because of your episode 0, because of your very first episode with Gildedguy. The fight with that cook. Ok, great... now I have to rewatch your whole series again🤣

Don't stop. Don't force yourself to write. Just don't brainstorming. Your self conches mind is developing the story naturaly. Over time the gaps will be filled. Most people have a idea then stretch it into a story by putting thousands of brainstormed ideas in and the uniek idea gets lost.

@@futurestories2380 Thanks, this helps a lot!

Same

me too haha

Ay me too!

@@risingkhero1714 Hard times

You should read Berserk! A big core of one of the most famous manga is all about just that! You just gotta figure out how to make plots out of character development. Meaningful changes and how characters affect the world. It's a "bit" dark, but if your okay with that, it's genuinely amazing. One of, if not the best. You need to be mature to read. Seriously, I don't want you to get messed up. Another idea which has personally helped me is D and D. I playtest my stories with D and D games. Its a really good way to see how human characters react and adapt to situations. Might help you figure out how to use that character development in cool ways with plot. Eventually they just feed into eachother, snowballing and whatnot. Having a theme in mind also really helps keep you on track. You can make amazing stories with character development, as long as its meaningful change for meaningful reasons. Think of how this could happen to someone, and go crazy. An exercise I do is come up with a person, think of someone totally different, and then come up with how they got there. Using that, you could even make a little story right there. Good luck! Hope i didn't write too much

@@maxtheawesome4255 Berserk is NOT a "bit" dark. I will not recommend this series to anyone under 17 because it deals with serious and traumatic topics. If you're under 17, stay away from Berserk.

@@JovanaSanchez000 Absolutely.

@@JovanaSanchez000 I read berserk at 14 and I had no issues

@@wi1395 maybe you were abit more mature than your contemporaries at the time. But I wouldn't recommend Berserk to anyone below age 16 for the same reason i wouldn't suggest a documentarty about head hunting or satanic rituals. I could see it being potentially unhealthy to the budding worldview of someone that age.

Sorry there's this really convenient subspace tunnel through your head I use all the time!

That made my day! Hahaha!!!

@@CharacterDesignForge you just made my day with that scott pilgrim reference

I only read this thing and the thing about the 12 years-overdue dvd from blockbuster

Definitely!

i've acknowledged the word "garbage pizza" too many times in a minute

Yeah, I had an idea when I was 11, which I tried writing at 13, but it was so big. My current idea is still a trilogy, but hey I'm 16 and I'm doing a second draft of the first book.

I'm planning on doing something small with each of the main cast before I start the story proper. Before I can do any of that I have to git gud at a whole bunch of artsy stuff, so it might be a while.

Chop them up as small as you can! The smaller and more condensed a single story is the stronger it will be. You don't have to write such a small story if you don't want to, but by shrinking things down you'll automatically cut out things you don't need (yet) and give strength to your main characters. Later you can take two or three of these very small stories and turn some into main plots and sub plots if you really want to write something bigger. At least, that's what I have tried to do. I hope that helps. Feel free to ignore me, though. ^_^

In order to figure that out You need to stop brainstorming and end all deadlines. Once your story is done it will become more clear on what to do.

My current project is already longer than Fellowship/Two Towers, and I've got enough content to finish to make it a full trilogy. But it's not written that way. If you're going to chop it up, make sure to restructure it. Avoid forced climaxes. I first tried inserting one near the end of "the first volume", and it just didn't work.

Im kinda in the same spot but with minor differences. In my opinion i would make smaller novels set in the same universe.

Dude wtf you just described my exact situation as well.

If you stop brainstorming and setting deadlines and let your self conches mind develop the story over years you will be a pro. Writing has gone to SHIT because people have listed to people who don't know how to write and listen to people who are still learning from people who don't know how to write.

I'm sure it would be great when you manage to do it, good luck

That's my issue too. DX
