TOO. MANY. PROJECTS.

Posted by LeTravino - July 21st, 2013


Sometimes, I wonder - is my tendency to have five different projects going on at once a good thing or a bad thing? Sometimes, it makes me feel overwhelmed, like I'm never going to finish any of them. Then I feel badly about that, because I really want to release more content in a timely matter.

However, if I don't work on multiple projects, I tend to get bored of drawing the same characters all the time, and I feel like my work gets a little lazier, while working on multiple projects at once refreshes my motivation for each one as I swtich between them.

I really would like to get some sound advice regarding this. What do you guys do? Do you just gun for the one project and tough through it, or do you jam on multiple things at once? Or does it depend on the amount of time you have? For me, I only have two days off from work a week, and maybe about 3 hours a day max where I can work solely on my cartoons.

This'll be going in the forums, to, of course, but hey, I thought I'd ask you guys first.

Here's what I have in the works at the moment! No release date on any of them, yet.
- Simon Gets Greedy [WT: Castlevania Parody] - Rough animation/Recording in progress
- The Woes of Re-Tail [WT: Animal Crossing Parody] - Scripting, writing and storyboarding in progress
- Wanna See My... [WT: Original dark comedy] - Scripting/recording in progress
- Boo [Looping Animation] - Rough sketches but nothing major yet

Don't keep packing your self up with porn

but I have so many good porn plots. Imagine it. An awesome porno with a great story like LotR or Star Wars

i do the same thing too, some i dont finish because.... i dont know. but if a project is big enuff i stop everything and work on that one alone

I get the 'sure thing' project straight out of the way.... by completing it! Because as time goes by, and you simply think about the other projects, you may realize the script might need to get tweaked, added to, detracted from, or simply scrapped... so why waste effort dividing your attention, to something that might not work?

Reign in distractions, keep the goals orderly and realistic, and you won't be disappointed.
