nightly notes
Apr. 7th, 2008 08:38 am*Edit: I started this last night, and had to finish this morning.*
I had a minor epiphany in the shower tonight. I have this tendancy of thinking of a million one things that I wish I'd accomplished during the day. Tonight I thought: "Why not write them down before bed so you don't forget about them tomorrow until it's too late?"
For tonight, my thoughts turned to artwork. I have a ton of pokers in the proverbial fire - all of which seem stalled outside of my control (though I know that I could push some of them forward a bit).
Here's the abrieviated list:
1. Children's book - for the bank.
2. Children's book - with an old colleague.
3. Art for a flash based game for a popular social networking site (more when the details are hammered out).
4. More 1100 strips (I have a ton of ideas to add to the small collection there.)
5. Another comic idea that's still in the planning stages with another old colleague.
I really need to start pushing some of these forward - otherwise they're likely to all come to a head at the same time. Then everyone will be upset as I scramble to get everything done in less time than any one of them deserves. (Not to mention the burn out I would likely feel in a short span of time.)

The real problem for me at the moment is not that I have too many pokers in the fire, but rather that I have too many waiting to go into the fire. I'm just waiting for everyone to come to me at the last minute and say "Hollleeeee crapola! We need this completed yesterday! You don't have ANYTHING else going in your life that would prevent you from doing this do you?!?!"
