I've got the same sort of cold...thing...going on. That and all I ever want to do anymore is sleep. I only got 20k in NaNo before giving it up (haaaated it, the biggest reason) so congrats to you!
Your portfolio is awesome. You're one of the best artists I've ever known...and while I'm not all that well-versed in the art communities and barely skate over dA once in a blue moon, I've seen tons of sketches and drawings that are TRULY HORRIBLE, like they look nothing like what they're supposed to be. Your stuff is brilliant and clear and amazing.
Aww, I've failed like 4 or 5 times at nano before so I totally understand that :/ And lame for being sick. This cold is LAME, I tell ye...
I'm horribly flattered that you said that about my portfolio :D Whenever I look at Deviant art I feel like everyone is better than me and I feel temporarily hopeless like WHY AM I EVEN TRYING. But I have been repeatedly beaten down re: my art (in high school I was told to 'stop drawing cartoons if you want to be an artist' and in my last year of college, my painting report card said 'this student is an art historian, but not an artist') so I probably have a complex. Anyway, thanks so much! I'm really really glad you like my art and were happy with the picture I did of Brandon! (part two is coming once I'm less sick!)
I do that every year with NaNo. Except this one. It's usually "50! DONE! GO AWAY NOW!" This year must've been special ;)
Also, I did not read the pep talk in full, but I will so I can bitch along side you.
Also, also, drawings = beautiful.
Also, also, also - I hate when that happens when you're sleeping! That's why in the school when they have the heat on, I have a fan by my head in the boy's room, so I can just turn it on and try to continue sleeping. Waste of power? Yes probably. Do I pay for it? Nope, school does.
oh totally! Though I see you're experiencing the thing I always get, where it's hard to give writing and drawing equal attention... so maybe we should take a couple of months break to write for a bit ;)

And thank you!
And that's a good idea with the fan, if you can't control the heat of the room. I hate waking up and being too hot :/

And your NaNos have hope! Total hope! Sometimes you just need to step back and go, "Totally enough of that, thanks."

yay for finishing (and maybe take a breather and then keep going?) and yay for portfolio, already seen most of it of course, but it is spiffiness :)
