Sometimes life can really work against you.

These days I'm felling like that. In a way it's almost my fault, in the other it's just life doing its thig.
I'm into a series of projects and they are all stucked. I love developing projects, my mind is always travelling and searching for new challanges and that can be a bit annoying, 'cause sometimes I can't deal with all projects.

I'm in the middle of a graphic novel project for the european market, and it was going quite good: I had an editor, I had time, I had all tools I needed. But then I made a very bad choice about the penciler with who I was going to work. The guy doesn't do the pencils. Simple like that. We are going to miss the deadline and I'm so pissed of I can even tell you.

FIRST TIP: choose wisely the ones you'll work with. It's not in your hands your reputation, but in theirs too.

Then I have a child's book project with another penciler. It was also going fine, but it suddenly got stucked. I just forgot about it and also did the penciler.

SECOND TIP: Focus. It's the most important thing, I guess. Use a notebook to note deadlines and ideas if you fell you're going to miss something. But keep the goal always in mind.

The other projects are doing fine but too slow due to life itself: you gotta prepare lunch, dinner, do the ironing, cleaning, do comissions... And I also have a Art School to run, which is going through a renovation now - and I hate it - and I have to deal with all that. In the end of the day I'm just dead to grab a pencil. It annoys me 'cause I LOVE to draw. I love to create. And I all I can do now is to write down my ideas and wait to have some time to bring them to life. People can say wathever they want, but YES, money is an issue. Money buy your food, pay your rent and bills. It's not something you cannot worry about.

THRID TIP: do your stuff in a particular order. Start with the things you HAVE to do, worry about things you HAVE to worry and leave the others for tomorrow. If you can do one thing at the time it's already good. "Patience" is the word here.

The year of the DRagon is being unmerciful with me. I knew it was going to be like this and I said I was going to accept things the Dragon way... A little bit hard, though.

FORTH TIP: insist. Be a stubborn and persist. It's the only way we can succeed sometimes.

WEll, it was more an otflow than a meaning journal, but I hope that you can learn something from my despare and also I can follow my own tips and get rid of all these weight in my back.

Awww bless your heart ... you shouldn't despair because you have such TALENT and positive attitude and no matter what goes wrong you WILL be able to fix it and overcome it ... 'this too shall pass'

Things happen to irritate and make us worry and it snowballs (grows bigger and bigger like snowball rolling downhill) until we can feel just out of control .... guess perhaps reminding ourselves that it happens to everyone at some point and we are not being singled out for all the bad luck can help... but also the things you pointed out or more to the point the WAY you pointed then out ...

Sit down and take stock of what you CAN do and forget about things you can't and it all falls back into place in the end :)

Nearly my bedtime now so I say here THANKS for all the faves :iconslipperyhugplz:
