Past couple of weeks....

Ok so the past couple of weeks have been quite a challenge to juggle. As some of you know, I juggle a full-time job, a blossoming freelance career in both comicbook art and graphic /web design as well as the normal duties of husband/provider/insert noun. It's not easy. At times I wish I had that watch from Trancers.





I could set it in the morning get a page or two done. Freshen up and off to the day job. Come back. Set it again to get some rest and do some more pages. Then back to normal time to get a night's sleep. Figuratively, I'm thinking that a 36 hour day would be perfect to do it all.

But that's not reality.



So balancing it all is quite a challenge and very tiresome. Maybe it's the pressure I put on myself to do much more than those that are doing it full-time. Maybe it's just my own level of standards that is so out of whack, and that's why I work as much as I do. Or maybe it's just a sense of major responsibility to keep chuggin' along till I finally can do comicbooks full-time.

I'm not naive, nor dumb to just go for broke risking everything else that I've worked so hard for. But it would be nice.


And that reminds me of the old saying about the grass being greener on the other side. I guess for me it's just taking into account what I should be expecting to occur (bad and good) and thus doing my best to build up enough to be able to stand on my two feet regardless of what could be happening.


Am I too conservative in thinking like this?
