For want of a schedule

I think my entire life I have resisted schedules. I despise alarm clocks, and keeping a schedule for other peoples demands has always felt like the most abrasive thing. School, work, events, its all on a schedule. My internals just want to rebel against the concept of being told when to do something. So it comes as a bit of a slap in the face that I now am feeling the need for a schedule. That I have a planner and a to do list and I set my alarm for hours before I have to be awake so I can get things done that are important to me.

This is of course coming on a day I am late to post the blog. But it has been a whole deal, a thing I have been struggling to come to grips with. My internal hatred of a schedule and the need for one.

I have been feeling like my art progress has hit a stall point, now I can look at past sketchbooks and see that I have improved, often dramatically. Some of my facebook memories that I shared make me cringe…. But I feel like I am stalling out. So what did I come up with, the need for a schedule, to have more structured practice. It should help and also make me annoyed at the same time.

In non schedule related news, I finished another sketchbook, that’s 8 completed sketchbooks since I started my art journey back in 2021. Self high five.

The story of the Fomorians wrapped up in the strip and I am working on some things with Mori and Bo now. I think Mori is going to be the next sticker I put up in the store.

So I think that’s it for today as I sit here with the windows open, a hot cup of coffee and the smell of lilacs coming in from outside. It’s going to be a good day.
