Not my favorite sketch

Do I want to write today or do I wanna draw today. Do I wanna make fanfic/art or do I wanna make an original. Which fandom? Which character? Which ship? Which scenario? Multi chapter fic or a one shot? Comic? Which indivual original idea? Do I continue a WIP or make a new thing?

How about I just lay in bed and imagine doing these things
