Yes same here, annoying thing is I still don’t want to loose the inspiration of creating another series or the initial idea but alas, one has to prioritise.
@@robyn2124 Agreed. I’ve been having a ton of other story concepts popping up in my head recently so I’ve written them all down and just shoved them to the side so whenever I finish my main story, I could maybe go back to it one day. It gets tempting but learning to prioritize like you mentioned has helped me tremendously.
I really love these kind of one-to-one sit-down videos cuz it opens my eyes to the reality of something of that I want to do and for future as both an animator and and writer. I would really appreciate more videos regarding your work and what you do and how you improve yourself and pace your work as well
Man i respect your decisions but i think focusing to one series and combining them all produce more better quality and relieve stress so that increases productivity and eliminate the distraction instead of focusing on how much can you accomplish, focus on how can make reader absolutely love it 😀
brandon chen, i believe in you and all but if your staying up beyond 10:00 pm due to manga burnout working tirelessly day by day, heres what i have to say, work at your own pace, know your limit in the day, i guarrantee you your awesome and all but staying healthy, eating healthy, sleeping and working out is a second brother to drawing, its like health on a silver plater, that said its cool to love drawing but dont wear yourself out nights like i did.
Thanks for this video! I admire how you can work on a lot of series at once, I try to do a similar thing but as an artist/writer I find it hard to crank out a lot of work since I have to balance commissions with it and this has often lead to burnout for me. For this reason I focus on doing one longer webtoon and one shots for contests for now, I hope that one day I can get published and making a living off my manga too. Thanks for the motivation!
I've always wanted to ask do your stories follow a story structure like 3 act structure or Kishotenketsu? I saw a short you posted where you showed the book Manga in Theory and Practice. In that book, Araki talks about Kishotenketsu. Do you use it? Thank you so much for everything you post. You're an inspiration to me.
I'd say to focus on fleshing out your characters. Once you've made your characters enjoyable enough, you (as the writer) will have no choice to become a fan of one of your own characters, which will motivate you to continue their story. However, being a fan of your own character does not mean giving them an easy route to follow and you need to remember that.
Statement : focus on expanding the world building and lore and you will stop jump into another story. Amazing idea is just an idea, you're not the only who thought about that "idea". The question is who is able to make the idea become reality and interesting story. You lack world building and lore to the story and that is the main reason you keep changing shit. Stick to one story and try to expand the lore, if you try and failed to make it interesting a lot of times, perhaps its time to jump to another story.
Then instead of writing long one piece type stories, write shorter 'bit-novels' it will allow you to conclude one thought, and dive into another thought, plus this way ur writing style becomes more versatile and u learn more tho it can be kinda tedious(but tip: short stories usually don't require you to delve too deep into character or worldbuilding so u don't need to repeat processes each time:) hope this is kinda useful
Question how do you get started in the business like for example you write and finish a story where do you publish it and how do you get people to read it or know about it? Also as an author once a series is already know and is currently publishing do you have to come up with ideas every to keep the story going or do you already have an ending planed since the beginning?
In my brain, I have 3 story with a flexible ending that I have in mind but God dang is it hard for me to write. All day I just sit down and draw which eventually made me forgot about it.
@@inspired.author yep I heard it from a youtuber named jaymes Hanson which I'm subscribed to now it's not confirmed but it is hinted by kubo himself heres the link to the video th-cam.com/video/BZWrZaz7D9Q/w-d-xo.html
bruh, you're like me.... i've been writing scripts since FOREVER and my brain keeps coming up w these interesting concept and ideas but my drawing hand is so fucking lazy lmfaooo do u have FB? would love to talk sometimes haha.
It kinda feels bad that american comic makers doesn’t do enough money. I hope it changes for you and that you get enough money to keep doing what you love
I respect you man, as someone who’s writing just one series alone it gets tough sometimes lol.
True

@@inspired.author I really don't mean to hate or heckle. I'm just worried about a quality drop, and that scares me.

I'm replying so I can comeback to this when I feel like I'm losing motivation, and need something to keep moving.

Huge respect for u man🌚❤
but yeah brandon, you got the power!
Respect man love your content
Gotta say bro. Just started reading Nora. 10 out of 10 so far. Good job. Would love to see this as a comic or manga. I'll be waiting in the future ☺️

@@inspired.author that's great to know! I've been studying it heavily. I wanted to know your thoughts. Thank you so much! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I just started promoting my webnovel on tiktok so I’m hoping for the best and I am starting work on a web comic after I graduate from high school
hey dude, you got me back into writing thanks.
Honesty you motivate me to keep up the fight I appreciate your work
Always wanted to see you do a read through of your comics/manga
I'm not a writer, but I've had a lot of ideas for stories. My problem is that after a couple hours I'm already thinking of another story.

Glad im not alone

Have u managed to finish all those 100 scripts?
I'm saving this vid for inspo
@@inspired.author oh my goodness!!! That's amazing!!!
@@inspired.author your so hard workin
Someone wrote book in 3 days,
Me: Spends 3 day just to build a magic system
thx Brandon, imma work harder

I would like to see you try out audio books for Nora and put them on amazon or TH-cam. Maybe try just one chapter and see how it goes
In my brain, I have 3 story with a flexible ending that I have in mind but God dang is it hard for me to write. All day I just sit down and draw which eventually made me forgot about it.
yo i heard there was going to be a possible bleach reboot coming hinted by kubo himself
@@inspired.author yep I heard it from a youtuber named jaymes Hanson which I'm subscribed to now it's not confirmed but it is hinted by kubo himself heres the link to the video th-cam.com/video/BZWrZaz7D9Q/w-d-xo.html
Rather than a reboot, more like bleach TYBW arc with extra story being added cause the final arc is rushed even tho it has over 200 chapter.
cant wait for this unknown title to drop
Underrated
you are the best
I understand this cause I have multiple stories I'm writing and very few I'm drawings
WAIT A MINUTE THIS GUY IS BEHIND GOD GAME OH HELL YEAH IM HAPPY TO BE AN EARLY SUB
What I want to know is what's your word count? How many words do you write per day?
bruh, you're like me.... i've been writing scripts since FOREVER and my brain keeps coming up w these interesting concept and ideas but my drawing hand is so fucking lazy lmfaooo do u have FB? would love to talk sometimes haha.
Can you provide an advice on how to collab with artists, on tapas for example?
I really am curious, which series is making you more money? Nora or God Game? Or is that too personal of a question?
@@inspired.author so imagine you made a motion comic for god game with professional voice acting (I guess it would be expensive)
Next vid
Y everyone loves every story I write
@@inspired.author 🙂 keep ur head up

It kinda feels bad that american comic makers doesn’t do enough money. I hope it changes for you and that you get enough money to keep doing what you love
