Motivation

At times it can be very hard working for yourself and finding the motivation to get stuck into work. When you're tired and hungry, throbbing headache and numerous interuptions it just increases the likeliness of just going away and lying down for a long snooze. However deadlines loom and you've got a job to get done. I can only sympathise with those in the same position. The job is always delivered. Just only if they knew what you had been through sometimes to get that piece done.

Popular calls during these periods are those wishing to become squires in our craft. My suggestion to those just starting out is don't tip toe into the shallow end of the pool. Jump in naked to the deep-end. The only difference is how much you really desire to swim. If you really and truly need to be a cartoonist you will be. You'll make it happen. Noone can help you but yourself. It is a career where you direct yourself into the industry. This isn't like McDonalds where they train monkeys to cook. (nothing wrong with being a monkey, just explaining the method of training.).
