I don’t even know how I’m finding time to type this up today; better try to keep it short.
Looks like I picked the right/wrong week to go on hiatus from comics; the day job has suddenly gotten so hectic that I’m barely finding any energy left in the evenings. While this isn’t a big deal when it comes to comics, as I’m now on break for at least a month, it’s not a great sign for my intended social media surge. I had hoped to potentially upload something each day of the month to every possible social network that I could, but I may have to limit myself to every other day instead. That’ll mean I won’t be building as much of a presence as I wanted to, which kind of defeats the purpose of the whole thing; you see my dilemma here?
Thing is, I can’t afford to slip on the day job either; as much as I tend to complain, it is keeping the roof over my head, and I don’t want to be out of it until something better comes along. I even have an opportunity to take on a little extra responsibility here that, if I do well enough, I can use as a basis to push for a raise. No assurances it’ll work, especially since our salaries have had a nasty tendency to be paid late for a few months, but I’ll take any chance at an increase at this point. It does involve having to put some effort into learning Blender, which is a double chore when I’m trying to convert the regular control scheme into the industry standard version, so my current breathing room is rather limited.
So in that regard, I’m going to cut this blog post short here so that I can get back to it. Keep an eye on all the socials, uploads will happen when they happen; wish me luck.
Ciao for now.
