Day 197: Hiatus Pt. 2

Just a quick note to let people know I haven't disappeared.  The break is really helping me with my focus.  I've been able to knock out a plot structure book that's been on my read list for months now.  The notes I took are already helping to stream line my script writing process.

After I get back from my business trip I'll be able to set down at the drawing desk with fresh eyes and some renewed motivation.  One piece of advice I can give at this point is to make sure you have some fun while you're drawing.  If you get too hung up on dedicated studies and singling out your weak spots it can be pretty soul crushing.  I'm definitely adding that to my list of things not to do in the future.

* I'm considering Friday to be the end of the week for tracking metrics so that it lines up with my summary posts.

** I had to use a some fuzzy math to figure the page count for some of my Kindle books since they only have location tagging.
