Making the cut~ knowing when to.

Anyone who likes to write/draw will hopefully understand my difficulty here.

Okay, so, anyone who knows me will know I have no issue coming up with characters for a story, and indeed, how much time I spend drawing aforementioned characters, coming up with random stuff about them, writing biographies, working out backstories and relationships, and, on top of all that, making new ones and attempting to fit them in somewhere, or making whole new stories to accomodate them. >_<

This is a problem. And, it's a problem for me because; I spend so much time thinking about the characters, and their stories and all that sort of thing, and there is so much I want to fit in, I lose track of where the story should start, what it should cover, and where it should end.

In short: It's not that I know too little about the events of my stories and the worlds in which they take place, but too much! Now I don't know what to include and I'm confused!!

Now, I absolutely love my characters; they were one reason for me getting into the BJD hobby; I still get this awesome little feeling inside to look up to my shelf and see the closest thing I'll probably ever get to a physical representation of Vikenti, and I love working on the doll so that he expresses more about the character, but that's another story, and I don't want to go off on a tangent.
Anyway, back on topic, I really, really want to write/draw something good. And, of course, that's so much easier said than done.

Point is, any of you guys who like to write stories/comics/etc. have the same issue? Do you find it difficult to know what to cut, what to explictly tell, and what to imply? Comment below and maybe, if you're having trouble too, we can help each other ^_^

In other news, I'm going to attempt to start posting some of my art up here, or on my tumblr, which I will provide a link to, if I decide to start using it. I've managed to produce some stuff I'm actually really happy with lately, so I kind of want to show people :3

Aaand now, I bid you adieu, for I am going to go and draw something cute. One of my new characters is demanding I draw him and I think he's fucking adorable.

Peace~
