I get it. I just wanted to make stories and I prefer to draw them instead of write them.

> I'm literally not an artist The only book of yours I've read is Mare Internum but I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you. It's art. Therefore you're an artist.

Maybe. It becomes so technical and means-to-an-end for me where I'm just focused on arriving to a destination. Like driving in the car for 8 hours and being relieved and exhausted when you arrive. I don't enjoy the process at all and I suspect a "real" artist would.

Y'know... I would read a book you wrote... you don't have to tell stories through comics.

hmm, some of the stuff that I'm like, the most happy to have made, in retrospect, was not necessarily the most enjoyable process. though overall I guess I do find drawing fun so idk (won't argue)

Drawing is a thing I had to learn in order to make comics, lol. For some reason drawing feel incredibly different when not towards the end goal of a sequence so I suffer badly when it comes to illustrating (am stuck on a complicated plant watercolor atm). Def wish I was more like you in that regard
