Hi Kitsune

I’m currently in the process of setting up my own online art/illustration business – I mostly specialise in fantasy/manga type things. I’m currently unemployed, I haven’t had the best success in finding work since I graduated last year so I decided it was time to try and do things for myself.

I’m hoping this will be the much needed kick in the backside I really need – I need to stop procrastinating and I hope that by running my own business it will teach and encourage me to be a bit more responsible with money. It can get frustrating because sometimes I have too many ideas for illustrations and I just don’t know where to begin, or I start comparing myself to other artists which is a vicious trap to fall into – “Oh I will never be as good as this person…”

I guess the only thing that will keep me motivated once I get my stuff together is knowing that this is what I want to do with my life, and if I don’t get anything done then I’m going to get nowhere.

Best of luck with your first novel 😀
