I should try what you're doing sometime. I just started school again and that coupled with my two jobs has forced me to FINALLY buckle down and learn how to manage my time more efficiently. I'm still not that good at it, but maybe something as simple as a list detailing my goals will help.
I've always though that motivation and trying things once in a while would eventually get me where I want to go, but the more I speak to artsy gals, the more I think motivation is not enough. I really need to plan more starting now. I need personal goals and deadlines more then the general "comic artist eventually" idea.
I hate to break it to you, but the secret that many famous indie artists have is this: they married someone with better financial/organizational skills than them (ask Terry Moore and Jeff Smith). I hope Link is good at balancing checkbooks. LOL
