Bit by bit...

Bit by bit the brittle fillings break. Bits and pieces scape my tongue and crack against the solid bits of tooth as I bite down. Residual wear and tear. Some of it's from the grinding. I can see darkened bits start to appear along the seams where filling meets tooth, like mold along the edge of the floor boards. Each crease the promise of a future problem.

I wear my smile like an old suit. I'm too cheap, too broke really, to buy another, so I use it sparingly. Even then it ain't worth the wait.

I really need to stop using my teeth to open shit.

Anywho...

I've thankfully been making progress towards that absurd list of goals. Aside from finishing up the last of the Christmas presents, I've made progress on the NxNW Frenchie and finished up the second draft of one of the stories in SDNT.

Little by little...

As much as I enjoy spreading things out, having small bits of each project as a goal each month, it seems to me that it would be wise to use each week/month to focus more on less tasks. Have I written this before? Tried this? Failed at this?

I don't know or remember. I'm going to do it anyways. The hope, of course, is that I'll be failing forwards. Once I finish the frenchie I'm on, I'll shift back to Un Chien inks and dedicate myself to getting those done with a rough goal of having them inked by April then toned and finished by May.

After this, I'll knock out the inks on a few frenchies. July is when I want to finally be knee deep in creating the art for SDNT. As for the other projects, I'll get to them or I won't.

Writing and sketching can be done at work/before bed.

Ephemerol is the one I'm less than sure about. I want it done, but it's a time consuming endeavor. The advantage is that the next 2 books are "roughly" done, but they do need a hearty amount of work to be done.

I don't know. I'll get Un Chien done and go from there.

Dicks for listening!
