Work Hell '09 #1 - week 2

Here I am, still alive and kicking. The first list of changes for Naruto 46 arrived late Monday, as expected. The 2nd list came early today. I actually started the conversion before I had them, b/c every hour of time is precious. I have to convert 13 pages a day to make the deadlines, but more on this in a minute. I did very well the first two days, but today I am definitely dragging. --;; I'm going to finish the Naruto minimum, but I think Nana will be skipped today. I can spare it, because...

It's rather satisfying to know that this bout of Work Hell would have been so much worse if I hadn't pushed myself for the past three months. Lettering an extra page each of my shoujo titles every day, tackling all the nasty pages of everything first, wrapping up Clay as quickly as I could (yay for a dialogue-heavy volume!), and definitely being wise enough to turn down One Piece has really saved my neck. I've also figured out a way to make the Naruto conversion a bit easier, which is itself a huge help. I still have to keep on top of things and can't let myself go zombie until the conversion is over, but it's comforting to think of how much worse off I could be right now. This calls for the happy smiley! :D :D :D 13 pages a day and I can still attend my book club meeting next week. No way am I missing that, as I'm starting to finally get to know the other members, and this month's book was awesome and I want to talk about it!!

BTW, it's amazing how much more time I have since I stopped reading my communities. Seriously. I've gained an hour and a half of work time. O.o Wow. And I only regularly visited 4!! They were all rather high-traffic, but still. Whoa! *wonders what they're up to, but not enough to actually go and see* 
 

( Fannish squees! )

Now, my post last week mentioned my epiphany regarding my original manga. Let me see if I can do the realization justice. Hmmmmm. 
 

( An artistic epiphany... )

Time for me to depart and get back to finishing the quota. I'm glad I wrote 3/4ths of this post yesterday, when I was burning with energy, as there's no way I could have belted it all out today. Half-zombiedom sucks. :P~~~ I'm going to be hitting the caffeine tomorrow!

Until next week, minna! *salutes*

I am completely addicted to "New Divide" by Linkin Park. OMG it's so pretty!!!! X3
