It's almost been a year since I started this graphic novel. I haven't missed a single day of working on it, and here are 3 things I've learned so far that keep me going. 1: Being perfect slows you down. Move forward on your project and worrying about being perfect later. It'll speed things up. 2: Your thoughts and your feelings will get in the way. That was supposed to be a brain. Your thoughts will constantly distract you into short-term thinking, and your feelings will change like the weather. If you listen to them, they will hold you back. They want gratification and survival now, but things can take years. I don't know what that question mark's about. 3: Sticking to the quota. Break your projects into small chunks and just earn the red X's. Moving in small, consistent steps over a long period of time adds up.
