writing prose is incredibly difficult to me. i think its just not really my thing. i think stupid, flowery dialogue is more my thing. when it comes to moving a scene forward im always thinking about it so visually; what is a character doing? where are they moving? How are they sitting? What is their face doing? i think my inability to fully understand human emotions and motivations plays into this. when im drawing or scripting a comic its a lot easier for me to be more loose with intention, and i prefer that whether its out of insecurity or feeling its more honest, or interesting, or just fits better with what i want to say with a story
its also very possible I just need to read more again and practice at it. this is definitely a consequence of me mostly reading comics/watching tv and movies more than just reading text. my brain is going to construct narratives better based on what’s been fed into it. but i suck so bad at reading still i havent read a book in months
