it's 3pm and I'm still in bed.....
with a hangover from hell...no sympathy required, this is what happens when you stay up all night chatting on live messenger drinking cider and sherry!!! Yeeuurggghhhh
So now my brain feels 5 sizes too big for my head, and my stomach is jumping through hoops.
I think I can rule out any kind of productivity today, which is quite annoying as I'm on a tight deadline and can't really afford to not be downstairs working in my studio! I've got 4 days left to finish the final draft of issue 1 and get it to the printers in time for Bristol's Comic Con in May! Gulp! Nothing like leaving it to the last minute!
I'm hoping that sufficient interest will be generated in issue 1, and a nice indie publishing company will want to pay to release issues 2 -6, either as single issues or as a collected edition.
Bristol's Comic Con will mark a major milestone in a project that has consumed most of my spare time for the past 22 months! That's a long time to commit to a project without any kind of financial recompense and I'll gladly admit that at times it has been really hard going; keeping yourself motivated to that degree is a tough and challenging experience. Anyone planning on attending?
As well as trying to keep on target, I'm also trying to find a permanent teaching post as I'm getting pretty sick of the unreliability of supply, so far the lack of supply work has left me nearly 2 grand in debt and just about destroyed my relationship.
I'll be moving into a new place in May, on my own.
I think I need some space and time to myself, to rediscover who I am. It's so easy to get lost inside a couple, you lose sight of your own identity and your own personal goals. It's certainly been a wonderful learning experience, as all relationships are, but there comes a point when you have to be adult enough to realise when something is not working and when both parties are unhappy.
I don't know what will happen when I move, but I do know......
"The future's so bright, I've gotta wear shades"
