Most people are creative in one way or another. Even though not all of us become artists or writers, it doesn’t mean we can’t create some stories in our minds. We just usually don’t feel confident enough to share them with others, or even put them to paper just for us to see. We feel they’re silly, not good enough, just a piece of garbage in comparison to what some other people produce.

But creating a story, no matter how silly, can be very fun! We can’t really fathom the whole potential of it until we let it unwind. The characters become alive as the story moves forward, helping you create it along the way. A new world appears before your eyes, full of unique people with their problems and desires. They wouldn’t exist without you, and it gives you an amazing sense of power.

I believe anyone can create their own story. Writing is difficult, but there’s a medium that works in a more intuitive, visual way: comics. And you don’t need to be skilled at drawing to create them, either!
