I have no idea why I'm turning my NG news post section into my personal bitch zone, but here we go. Final chapter of When We Were Strangers launches in 3 weeks or less at this point. I know it's practically my trademark now to launch projects even when I'm not ready, and just make up the difference along the way, but this time I am FEELIN' it, Mister Krabs. I've got 22 out of 26 pages loaded for digital coloring, but my last four pages aren't even pencilled, and for whatever reason, I just can't focus on 'em, can't just settle down and do 'em. You could probably give me the choice right now of finishing my pages or getting a colonoscopy, and I'd be like "fine, hand me the gallon of colon cleanser and the bathroom key, let's do this."

The likes drive was a bust. Could barely crack 200. I guess it's better than nothing. I still owe people the consolation fic, and I have no problem with that, but I am having trouble sitting down and hammering that out, too. Honestly I'm quite annoyed with myself.

You're supposed to schedule vacation from work so that you take your time off to recharge before (or just at) the point where burnout sets in, but I'm the kind of dumbass who can't tell when I'm nearly burnt out until I'm actually there, and then I have to put in for time off and wait another 3-5 weeks. It sucks.

But somehow, I get the impression that even if I was off work right now, I'd still be having trouble. I've stubbornly bashed through insane comic schedules before while still working my job. This should be no different. So why now?

Well, I may be prone to complaining, but I'm not prone to giving up. Pretty sure I can find the motivation to power through this. I just wish I knew what it looked like, so I could find it easier.
