Ive always had the urge to make something in the creative space im just not sure what to start with or what to try?

Ive debated on making something like a book or game but then im reminded im terrible at writing due to dyslexia. Ive also wanted to make a comic but i cant draw that well, and ive wanted to make games but that requires so much time and skills i dont have sadly.

Is there something in particular i should try or focus on, what would you all advise i do? and why so.

    If a book or game seems too big and daunting (cuz yeah of course those are huge commitments!), you could always shoot for something smaller in scale. Like short poetry or short stories for writing, or maybe a small Minecraft mod to get your feet wet with the development side of things (or whatever moddable game you currently enjoy).

    I’m not good at either, so I can’t help much further than that. But hopefully starting small seems more doable?

      Starbound might be a good call for modding. Minecraft uses Java while Starbound uses LUA, and from my experience, LUA is far more human-readable, which could help mitigate @grumpy404@piefed.zip’s dyslexia-related issues.
