Both are true....

Sometimes I never do any work on BWO anymore.  It used to be almost daily...now its every so often in spurts.  Now we're trying to properly get it done but after its done it'll probably be my last.

Times change.  Sometimes you step back and step up again later...just slide with it.

The longer you work on something, the harder it is to maintain enthusiasm for doing it.... I guess that's why the only thing I ever completed was a short campaign that only took (for my part of the work) a couple of months or so.

wise words, Bob.

As to WMC: Enjoy whatever you'll be doing, and if you feel like dropping by, don't hesitate :)

We'll still be here and awaiting your return (they always come back :) )

Indeed, it's supposed to feel like a chore, because it is. If it's not, either there's something seriously wrong with you, or you're one of those good people, like BR or uh.. Shadow Wolf. :nervous:

  • huh?.. Who?.. hey you kids, git off me lawn!
Farewell, and thanks for the fish...

i know how that feels, since making a webcomic sorta entails the same thing.. but it's different in how it feels to get a comment on "great job" or "i like your work, keep it up" and the like..
drawing isn't something i could just put down after a while, since, i guess i'm still trying to improve myself.

but the fact that it's something that you're doing because you like doing it, and if it becomes a chore, or you get burnt out, it becomes less fun...

my advice is, take a break, hover around the place to see how things are going, offer sage-like advice now and again, either that, or find yourself a new challenge to inspire fun into it, or try something completely new.
