I was recently at my parents house and decided to look through some of my old sketch books. Not only did I decide I wasn't as terrible as an artist as I thought at the time, but I found a ton of characters and story notes that I can't for the life of me remember. Like character designs I drew over 4 month periods over and over again, and I not only cant remember what the characters name was, but I cant remember what story I have attached to them. Also old notes from stories I am still working on that are completely different from the story I have now, even the characters look different, have different names and personalities from their present selves. Its interesting.
And yeah, I have the problem where when I am walking home from work or getting ready for bed, Ill have an awesome story idea. Get really hyped to work on it. And then forget what is was the next day because I often forget to write it down (Getting better at that)
Or finding on my phone notes ideas that are so vaguely written that I have no idea what is was supposed to be.
Yeah, I get it.
