Well, I'm in a kind of a predicament.
You see, as I've established already I can't draw. And I also am not good at writing stories, but I'm always full of imagination. Recently I've been beginning to design characters in my head and all, and I've even started thinking of plots etc. But I just don't know what to do with them... can someone suggest what I can do with my ideas?

If you feel confident enough that your ideas are awesome enough to be put on paper, you could write down the basic plot structure and characters and pitch them to a comic book company. If you're lucky, and if your idea is really great, the company will have a script writer help with the lines and dialogue, and a professional comic book artist do the artwork. Beware, though: because you (Or at least you say) are not a very good writer or artist, you're going to have a lot less control over the general direction of your idea. (Like Invader Zim, for example. Its creator sold the rights to Nickelodeon, who began to do things with it that he didn't appreciate--a fact that eventually led to the cancelling of the show.) I suppose you could try to get a handle on writing scripts and dialogue, then try to write the script itself so that some script-writer won't, whether by accident or on purpose, take your story into an alien direction. (I've seen your art... that's why I suggest writing. It's a lot easier to master than drawing, believe me.) My ideas are getting stronger, too: I've already wrote up tons of characters and battles and story arcs for my project MAVERICK... Nine wicked demons plotting to overthrow the world and revive their long-dead father... Strange people with unusual powers, thought to be evil... An organization meant to hunt them... But most of all, this is a tale of two men, whose friendship was torn from them as they become enemies on the battlefield. Sorry, shameless plug. :/

Hmmm... script eh... that's a nice idea... I might give that a shot when I find some time. Thanks John!

Yes, script writing is a lot easier to manage than art, and I know myself I'm a better writer than an artist, much like Aaron McGruder or Nari Kusakawa. After seeing some clever stories and such, and being introduced to some things, I'm still determined to get better at the art thing, and it seems to work, but enough about me..
John's right. Keep working at writing, it's quite a lot easier, even if I was born with the talent, or so I'm told. With that in hand, you'd be able to have more control if you ever managed to get a gig.

Yeah, thanks guys.
But, since I'm known as a really quick learner (which i'm sure i bragged about for a million times), I might actually put some effort into drawing. I never improved because i never tried to get good. Well, I doubt i'll be able to put my current ideas into drawing, but it won't hurt to sharpen up my skill for the future.
