Keeping busy
Jun. 19th, 2009 10:30 amWell, while I wait for that WordPress thing to sort itself out, I've been tinkering with the layout here.
I'm thinking of getting some sort of aXesome header image, but am a little stuck for ideas. Meanwhile, at least I got a background done for the module boxes so it doesn't look so... plain around here.
In other news - I'm going to get 3 Blizzcon badges done this weekend with any luck, at a group rate of $60 for all of them. I certainly hope I get more than 1 done anyways, which is all I was able to do last weekend :( I really meant to get more done during the week but... well, I have no excuse, I just didn't. Maybe this is why I'll never be able to do freelance art full-time. Or maybe if I wasn't so mentally exhausted at the end of the day after my day job, I'd have the energy and inclination to do more than veg out in front of the TV or WoW.
But that's the catch-22, isn't it? I can't get enough clientele to make the jump from office worker to artist because my day job is so draining that at the end of the day, I either can't be bothered to work, or put out such low-quality work that I have to do it over again anyways, but I can't quit my job to dedicate more time to commissions because I just don't have enough to even remotely make up the lost income.
Maybe I should just man-up and get used to working 70 hours a week until I can make it on just one. Aside from the fact that quite spending time with my friends, and that I have given my husband shit so many times about ignoring me for his computer (though granted it was a full-on WoW addiction) that I'm sure he'd throw it back in my face.
Or maybe I can confer with him, see when his raid nights are, and make sure that I'm working those nights too so that we don't have any conflict. MAYBE, I should talk to HIM! XD This is why I love having a blog. Even if nobody reads it, it's nice to sort through my hectic and scattered thoughts to get to a conclusion that makes some sort of sense.
