I need to be more careful how use the word ‘DEFINITELY’.
It’s no secret that I’m somewhat slow in the art department; an unfortunate combination of misguided perfectionism (my work being far from perfect) and general incompetence. Seeing people who can effortlessly churn out pages of a superior standard in less than half the time frankly makes me green with envy, but I’m not going to get quicker overnight. Regardless, the truth is that I could and should have had the latest up this afternoon as planned.
Yesterday I worked till late/early in a drive to complete the page before stinging eyes and a headache biologically informed me it wasn’t happening. Short of cutting back to stick men and eschewing colour I doubt it could have been done in one night, the real problem however is somewhat bigger. I rave on about trying to be disciplined on a regular basis, but looking back over the past week I can think of literally dozens of small breaks and distractions I might have avoided if I’d planned ahead. A couple of hours on a film one evening, a walk into town here, the compulsive urge to google topics I’m unfamiliar with on a whim; had I just allocated a set block of several hours on the page every day I’m certain it would have been done with time to spare.
So yeah, more excuses :( Rather than pledging to DEFINITELY have that page ready by next Monday, I’ll just say that if it isn’t together by then I simply don’t deserve to be making a comic. It’s approaching the one month mark since my last page and the credibility of Christmas/New Year excuses is wearing thin.
So, without further ado I’ll do something right by shutting up and getting back to work.

I’m also guilty of lots of things you wrote, as many many artists. However, I think walks can actually helps in refreshing oneself and give creativity boosts. I hope you find the self-discipline you’re looking for, and I wish I could share advice, but I’m in the same boat these days
@demontales: Good to know I’m not alone XD And yeah, walks are actually pretty good for clearing ones head at times.
