All my life I've wanted to write, make stories, and draw comics, but the motivation to actually go through with it has never really been there for me. I've never completed a multichapter in my entire life and I've never been able to draw a single comic let alone draw much of anything for my whole life. I want to be an artist and do something, but I can't ever seem to make anything. I'm 25 now and I don't want to keep wasting my life doing completely nothing. I can't take the idea that I won't be a creative. It makes me suicidal to think otherwise.
What should I do?

Ok.
I am a semi successful creative.

This will sound like BS but you have to believe me.
The muses are a real thing, sometimes the material just comes to you, almost in its complete form. You can't write as fast as it comes. Something about the mind I guess.

Skill and hard work, you have to work hard and practice but this only allows you to edit and define the stuff that comes to you out of no where.

Can you call on the muses? Yes you can set yourself up get the creative spark but it might not come, you can not force it ever.

Hope you get some inspiration anon.

You would kill yourself because you couldn't create art without creating art? Doubt.

If it's 2D. Don't waste your time, If you have talent if you don't then don't waste your time.

I'll explain. Outside professional work, 2D artists are bottemfeeders. They'll usually get lowest payment from casual projects and often get less and now that AI has come in in a big way your profession is going the way of the dinosaur.

3D artist, that's king. I made your 2D shit and, I get all the percentage and all the glory. It was me, I made this.

Writing don't fucking bother, I literally wrote my game plot with ChatGPT and saved myself a ton of money hiring a writer. One of my bottemfeeders is now clearing it up since he's done his work.

Game design, don't bother.

This is that guy who keeps asking how to be creative, and then responds to everyone who gives him advice by saying he's incapable of doing anything. Yeah?

This fucking thread again? Stop making these retard, if you really wanted to do creative things you would've done that already so it's obvious you don't really want to

Yep. Its like he's fishing for some mystical phrase that will finally motivate him to actually pick up a pencil and put it on the page. He won't do anything, and no advice you can give him will change this. He's absolutely hopeless. The best thing you can do is just ignore him.

You might have learning or developmental disorder or just be a little bit dumb. That's okay. It also doesn't mean you can't be creative in some form, so maybe try to be less rigid about what you think creativity has to be. Also you've gotta realize most people can't be great. I dunno where the "but I must have greatness" brainworm comes from but it's silly.

No, he's trying to make a joke out of teenagers struggling who sensitively worry a lot. Obviously is one of those assholes who downvotes kids videos and rants about them like Leafyishere.

What he doesn't realize is that unlike how he projects himself at some point a teenager would have listened, but it just is that it is quietly listening or trying to follow through on their own. I bet to you, just by the writing style. Howie is the I won't read guy, since the I won't read guy is upset people don't sophisticatedly read the archive like him. He is mocking the common question new users give since he thinks 4chan should be selective.

Howie, you're a fucking asshole. You're mocking sensitive people I know that for sure. Going in here acting like them. Your first post was to give off that impression you were sensitive.
