Goals for 2016
This year, I hope to:
- Backup all the hard drives over here. It's been a while... (It's 2016; Have you backed up your files lately?)
- Get a ref made of my new sona. The design's pretty much all together in my head; I just need to find the time and the motivation to sit down for a few hours and try to set it to pixels. (And I might stream that, too; hoping that having an audience might help me stay motivated and productive... Or at least it's worth a try.)
- Commission more art of my characters. I actually did manage, somewhat recently, to come into enough money that I was able to set aside some of it specifically for art. The main problem now is that I can't decide whether to wait until I can get a ref of my new sona put together (a debut that's long overdue) and then get lots of art of it (because I know I'll want that), or get some art of some of my other characters in the meantime even though that will mean less art of my sona when that's ready. I'll admit, this decision would be much less taxing if I didn't have to worry so much about the money. Thus the next item:
- Find some source of proper, regular income. To be honest, I think I've developed a minor phobia of spending money on "nice things"; That's the natural result, though, of having had so little for so long. Would you believe I've been unemployed for over a decade? While I do manage to earn a few dollars here and there, mostly with doing computer repairs for the neighbors, I really need something more substantial. (I'd consider a Patreon, for example, if I had something good to offer...)
- Finally, if there's time, maybe I should try to figure out just how the heck I manage to be kept so busy by so much nothing! Fun fact: This list was originally supposed to be of my New Year's resolutions. See how good I am at getting things done on time?
