I have writers wall. Notice how i didnt say block, because its not a block persay, I dont have trouble comming up with ideas for scripts or even livejournal enteries. Its the simple fact that i cant bring myself to sit down and write them, I flip through the stations and watch old reruns of Press Your Luck on GSN. I have my brain sucked out of my head while watching I love the 70's & 80's on Vh1.
I watch movies i have seen 20 times on miramax, or pirated movies that i never had an interest in watching. I surf the net, watching videos on you tube, reading articles on wikipedia, or just rechecking my e-mail over and over in a vain attempt to get new mail. All to avoid sitting down and putting something meaninful on paper.
Maybe its my self esteme, Heroes Rebored #1 has consistantly sold out, it took so much out of me with all the stress it caused. I am scared my second issue wont be funny, it will let down the audience i really am aiming for this time....women. The first issue of H.R was easy, everyone was based on a real person who was with me in a situation that was similar, i didnt have a deadline, hell i didnt even think i would find anyone who would print it.
It was only after Charlie read it and really dug it that i had serious thoughts on it. I have so many ideas for comics and graphic novels (hell even blog enteries) that it really is driving me nuts with anticipation but its the fear of producing a bad product that is holding me back.
I really shouldnt let fear stop me, i know this. I will get over this, i only hope i can learn to produce things in a faster pace or else i will have a serious problem trying to make it as a writer.
