chanticoBeating up on myself a little bit for a lack of self discipline and worry that I'm not dedicated to working hard enough and what not. Buuuttt then I remember that I have 20 million personal projects, 2 jobs, a house to take care of, health issues, and it's winter, and I am not so worried again. It is getting easier and easier to remember that I work in cycles-- Spring and Summer are productive, Fall less so, Winter a bust. It happens. It's okay.
On that note, today I finished up the absolute *last* piece of art outstanding for other people. Three years of having constant work for others to put in front of my own despite many promises that I'll take a break this February 2006/07/08/09 . . . 2012, baby. I did it. I *cleared my schedule*.
So I have free time! And bafflement. What do I do with it? There are still the 20 million personal projects. (And Skyrim. MMM SKYRIM.) I cooulllldd:
1. Work on touching up some pictures for prints, coinciding with the upcoming con season.
2. Prep a bunch of parasols for spring.
3. Finally work on my Oracle project I've been kicking around for years.
4. Dedicate more energy to the Body Painting project, which I am still working on in the background.
5. Delve heart and soul into the writing/illustration project I started for Nano, setting myself a similar writing goal.
6. Be all scholarly and do a lot of formal exercises for the practice of it.
7. Clean the goddamn house.
There are more projects but I have a list now where I cannot have more than 10 open projects going at one time (I want to whittle this down to five but uh, yeah, good luck with that girl). And the other ones are purely for fun, or have nothing to do with art, like organizing my music or reading teledioplex's novel.
WHAT SAY YOU, READERS?
