Why can't you just be able to buy motivation?
I'll admit I've been horrible at doing my art goals and stopped with the time tracking because I didn't really like the program after all. On top of that, I got a cold again so the entire week was spent watching dvds after work. (A week of a horror tv show will give you some messed-up dreams.) And lately, I don't know if I'm just being lazy or unmotivated. Or I could still be in a funk. Who knows. I wish I would snap out of it.

But on a more positive note...

I bought an Epson photo printer that does wide format printing. So I can do larger prints now. And better quality ones. I need to do some re-arranging in the office and set the whole shebang up. There are a few pictures I plan on re-printing for cons. I guess a lot of stuff will be put into some sort of wierd transition from the Staples/Kinko's prints to the (hopefully prettier) new prints as things sell out. We'll see. And I'm still debating on whether to do things like button prints or 4x6's at home or somewhere else to try to keep a load off the printer. We'll see how things go.

Also JD bought a black and white laser printer on sale a couple of weeks ago. So that takes care of straight black and white printing. I've got the whole operation pretty much at home now.

So it means I've got more room to try some different things and get some better quality into my stuff. A lot more room for custamizing, and for the first time some larger than 8 1/2x11 prints. Also with the B&W printer I can see a better potential in doing things like comic projects or little booklets and stuff.

Speaking of...

I also have an idea I'm poking at for a short story type manga. In fact, the idea is pretty developed to the point where I'm seriously trying to go for it. I have to get over a couple of "is it really good" and self-doubt-type hang-ups though. I just need to go for it. It can be bad, it might be cliche, the style might be generic...but everyone has to start somewhere, you know? I tend to worry about whether something is really cool or creative or try to embark on too much. Then I back myself back up into square 1 and ultimately do nothing.

So I think my goal is to stick with this thing and get it out before the end of the year. I'm thinking it might be about 20-ish pages...who knows.

I might go back to a little doujinshi I had done a while ago and try to get that done too. Sort of a warm-up and something to sell at cons, even if FMA is getting a bit old.

I might have a fanart illustration in mind for Mushi-shi. (Maybe I'll do it larger size...) I've still got that Alice pin-up peice in the works.

The website is slowly trucking along. I got it pretty much "sketched out". I'm fleshing out sections and trying to put it all together. I want to get the main gallery up soon with some misc content. Then add more and more in updates. By that time I should have a backlog of new content...so the idea is to start the site and then do constant updating from there on out I guess. I'm only aiming for bi-monthly updates so it shouldn't be a problem.
