Writing my first non-porn story.

Violet's Wildlife diary is the first story I ever started. The first four chapters were made with almost all the intention I had with the beginning.

I've had every animal, and losely chapter, planned out since chapter 1 and those haven't changed. What has changed is how laser focused I've been making the plot, and how satisfying I'm making character arcs play out!

And I have a mild spoiler alert. But Chapter 5-14 is based on my own porn addiction. I do apologize for my selfishness, as the story revolves around Violet not fitting in to the real world, and other themes I've struggled with in my early 20's.

And I hope it's not overbearing, or distracting from the reason you all really read it. (don't lie you coomers!). I know one of my fans was upset about the end of chapter 4 with Violet crying.

I do like the comic, mainly for art improving reasons. But I'm disappointed by how little I can actually go into the story since it takes so much time to draw even a page. For example in Chapter 3, I wanted to show that Violet felt inadequate about making her youtube videos, which is why she hired Nickle on in the end. However, at the same time relieved. That I'm not lingering on problems, and pressing forward! Making progress to degrees I'd never dreamed of. (I thought I'd drop the comic midway through CH 1)

I've been concepting and dropping story ideas ever since 13 yo. I even remember when I was 14yo, writing vore fanfictions. And even talking to living lovindude on deviantart 12 years ago lmao. Our collab is a long time coming.

But I've never been able to start stories. Call it whatever you will, anxiety, laziness. I dont know. A mix of all I believe. A few pages in, zero. Most my stories died as mere concepts, or just existing as a few characters I had loosely in mind. Worst being ones that are just a story moment, with no meat around it.

I've been reading a lot more comics lately. Picking into them more then usual. And I finally got to catchup with Fujimoto's newest oneshot "Goodbye, Eri" https://manhuascan.me/read-goodbye-eri-official-chapter-1.html

It hurt me, plucked into my insecurities on my art. Dropped tears from my eyes. His last two one shots are messages directed towards artists/storywriters like him, because Fujimoto knows these things. They are universal.

I'm writing this message because the comic inspired me to write my own short story. May it be a comic series. A one shot. Or a written story with illustrations and comic pages to accent it. IDK. And I doubt I will share it with you. As I've always made it clear to myself to separate porn from my real life. Artca9 isn't my life, it's just an account to post horny too as a job.

What I do know is I feel like all the work I've been putting into my artwork, albiet gross work as a porn artist, is about to pay off for what feels like the first time.

Thanks for reading my weird badly grammar'd introspection post...

PS: I just hired Shyguy9 as an editor for the first 4 chapters. Fixing my lack of "," in the comic mainly. Typo's, dialogue suggestions. Fun fact, rping with furries is the easiest way to completely butcher your education on english :)
