Last night I was trying yet again to craft a good origin story for a comic book character, and ended up writing about six pages. I really liked the story that I came up with, but it still doesn't feel right. It wasn't where I really wanted to go with the character. All of the characters except the main one seemed to shine. It feels like I'm never going to be satisfied, like I'm always going to be scrapping what I've come up with and starting over.

Perhaps downplaying the main character is a good start. You can always beef him/her up later, sort of like that dreary suspense.. who knows. Maybe I am just rambling.. Your user name is pretty good..

Art is hard, I feel the same way with my music. Whenever I write a song I never feel it is good enough and end up scraping it the next day.
