I just finished reading Bite Me. How dare you. That was really crushing. XD I love those two disasters and I hope it's not the last time we'll get to visit them. (And if it is, I'm glad I got to experience it~) I realized halfway through the rat in the kitchen scene that I'd seen the art you'd made of that and quickly went to have a look at it before I finished the scene. <3 <3

XD <3 I probably won't write about them again tbh, but who knows! Maybe a prequel could be interesting.

damn I just realized I've been working on Vicky & Mara for a whole year now that's crazy!! TBH I wanted to have a lot more done by this point but uh....... I got a bit distracted with other projects lmao. Whatever! I think I'm *actually* ready to start working on it again! It's been like 3 months so perchance it is time...

Your 3DS art is absurd (affectionate). Vicky looks GREAT. Are you thinking Nylon for the character we got to dress up because they're synthetic, or because they're durable? XD Jkjk, but I am curious why Nylon would be a possibility. (Being a writer who loves to know why characters get the names they have.)

A. of course! B. Nice, love it~ C. Hard agree, Denim is too tough D. Names with consideration aren't dumb, but I think you mean aesthetically silly. I hard agree with that as well. One of my fav characters from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is called Jetstream Sam. XD

lmao wow I'm sooooo great at this I just deleted my first reply by mistake. Anyways yeah I basically always mean "dumb" and the like as a good thing! I find a lot of joy and inspiration in things that are considered kinda frivolous/meaningless so I like to just embrace it!

SIXTH COMMENT FUCK. I hit enter. XD anyway, said "STOP, no more for you." XP Fuck me. Some of my favorite games to play on my PS3 are games that at the time were considered kinda bad or dumb. I whole heartedly agree that they're "dumb" but yes, in a loving way. The further in you get with AGITTWF, you will see too that I have a fondness for the silly.

Unconcious self-limitation - You unconciously limit yourself, you don't know what you're able to do and therefore settle for something less, or something else, than what you could do.
Self-limitation by public opinion - You believe what others say about what you're able to do. And it's very common for other people to want to decrease your ambition, for some reason.
Those two are the most common obstacles for getting started, I believe.
Result orientation - You do it to get a result, which means you will stop if you get a bad result, or abandon the project quickly if the process isn't fun and you don't get immediate results.
Doing it for someone else - You do what you think you should do, or what you think other people want. Which could work, but rarely works in long term because it isn't necessarily what you think is fun to do.
Sensitivity to criticism - You change your mind based on what other people think. So your project is doomed to fail if you get criticism, which you often will if you try to create something unique.
Those three I would say make it difficult to establish a process that works in the long term. Which is need if you want to ever finish your project...
So the biggest obstacles for finishing a project are, in my opinion:
Perfectionism - You are never satisfied, so you will never relase anything finished.
Abandonment (and/or "toxic project starting") - You either grow tired of your current project, or get too excited about a new one (these two often coincide), which leads to you abondoning your current project.
Over-ambition, or scope growth - You plan unrealistically, without regard to your current ability. And you don't know how to limit the scope, kill your darlings and stay realistic when you realize how much bigger the project is than you thought, so it explodes and you never finish it.
... and, over-ambition almost always happen, no matter how small you try to make the project.
I would also say that procrastination is a big obstacle in all parts of a project. But procrastination isn't unique to creative projects, it feels like a pretty obvious part of being a human, so... You probably already know about that one
