What are your fatal flaws in art/writing?

What is your fatal flaws in writing and drawing that is keeping
you from making vast improvements?
I was interested in this question for a while but didn't know if
anyone would be willing to look into it. I'm not the greatest
artist and I don't think I could ever write something worth
reading. But maybe hearing others might give me a bit more
confidence. XD

My biggest flaw is perhaps falling for the same character tropes
with male characters. It doesn't show too much because I don't
share most of my stories but the ones I do share I have distinct
personalities. For female I have a tendency to make them similar
to L from death note and I wish to change that.
For drawing my problem is keeping the anatomy symmetrical. I
want to win for a more realistic style but I can't draw hands
and feet just right.

My biggest problem with writing is getting the ball rolling. My
pacing is something I'm trying to work on, hence why I haven't
shared much of anything on here.
Anatomy seems to be a big problem among artists, but for me,
it's seeing the whole picture. I tend to sectionalize and only
realize a part looks wonky when I'm done and zoomed out and
looking at it as a finished work. It's quite frustrating.

I also have issues with pacing. Usually due to how I organize
things in a very precise way that most common reader doesn't
agree with. It's not the problem of pacing but where I choose to
end a chapter. Ending where the reader wants it usually leads me
to need to restructure the whole thing.

Recently I've come to discover that my writing gets weakened by
overuse of adverbs. It was never something I thought about until
I had Applied Grammar and Creative Prose Writing as two of my
courses for this past semester. I'm working on it, but it's a
tough habit to break. Adverbs are just so...helpful.

Sitting down and doing it. That is the problem.
My whole book is framed out and most of the dialog is there I
just need to fill it in... and then do the xmas special ending.

Biggest flaw in art outside of typical anatomy problems is that
I only draw what's in my field of comfort. I always have these
amazing thoughts in my head, but for some reason, all that ever
makes it onto paper is the stuff that I'm capable of drawing,
and I end up hating the piece because all I see when I look at
it are the things that could have happened.
Biggest flaw in writing, outside of the fact that I'm not an
experienced writer by any means, is the fact that I'm always
afraid of writing a full script for a story of mine. I've had
multiple stories, most short and one massive one, that I've
never written a full script for. An old story of mine, Gransora,
is currently sitting on my hard drive in the shape of dozens of
messy Word files that no one other than myself can understand.
Even the current short story that I'm working on, "Reverse", is
made up of a bunch of Word files. I want to turn it into a
script and eventually a full blown manga, but I lack the ability
to simply start.

Well you should definitely share your story. Gransora and
reverse sound like interesting story titles. The first one gives
me a one piece vine.

Presently I seem to be having issues completing even small
projects. I've tried doing short comics that shouldn't last
beyond twenty pages and I've only ever finished one fanfic in my
life that wasn't a oneshot--and it was only about 24k words. I
plan to combat this by sucking it up and finishing
something--starting with these projects I have to do for class.

I'm hoping to do so, but in art form. I used to do a lot of one
shots back on MR, which are basically an entire story's main
concept and idea summarized into one chapter. I'm a lot more
comfortable sharing my art than my writing, because I've been
drawing my entire life but never really dabbled in pure writing
outside of my stories.
But who knows what may happen. I might suddenly find myself
starting a script one day, in which case I'll definitely share.
