LOL I know EXACTLY what you mean! It's like, "make money...or do something interesting..." I fucking wish we didn't have to chose. >:|

Ultimately I want to write, but I want to feed myself, so feeding myself comes beforehand and I find it really hard to write when I don't have the energy to. Also hard to write when I waste all my time writing fanfic (FUCKING FANFIC, HELP ME). I think you have a good chance with your comic, so I think it's worth the pursuit.

well, realistically it won't be THIS comic. if i ever published fates bitch, i would probably redo it all. i'm like, 70% of where i want to be skill-wise?

what i really want to do is publish graphic novels of one shots every few months. some stories might continue, and some might be a mere 30 pages or so. that's how manga in japan works for a lot of the yuri stuff and i absolutely love it.

see, my distraction vice is that i spend all of my time playing this game called Silkroad Online. it's like WOW, but free. i don't think i'd play it half as often if my bff wasn't obsessed with it. he harasses me until i sign on and play with him :( i'm blaming him.

I have faith in you. :) Follow your dreams!

hey, have you checked out my new comic btw?

you might like it. it's more romance, less comedy than boobs ahoy. not that boobs ahoy was bad, i just decided to make a comic more similar to what i actually like to read.

You should never feel like a big loser for never going to college. There are several people with a undergraduate and/or graduate degree without a job or they have a job that have no connection to their degree whatsoever. I know somebody with a BS in Health Administration. Where does she work? At UPS with coworkers who don't have a degree. My sister run her own business and she's a college dropout. Even worse, sometimes people attend college and pursue a major just to find out during their junior year that she/he doesn't like it. Too late to change majors unless they don't mind jacking up their debt several thousands more. College is not the "be all, end all" it is cracked up to be. It is an investment. If it plays out well-great! If it doesn't, good luck dealing with the student loans.

You are not selfish. You are responsible for your happiness and you're striving for it. Plus, you have a significant other who supports you. That's wonderful. And BTW, success takes time. You're working on it, lol.

Sorry, long ass post is a long ass

i really appreciate this post.

yeah, i know people who went to school only to get a shitty part time job as well. and even worse, student loans need to start being paid off when you graduate. they don't wait for your successful career, heh.

i guess i just feel like everywhere i go, people always ask me what my major is... and then i have to go into a long spiel of how i'm not in school...what my plan is, etc. it's not nearly as bad now as when i was waitressing in a college town. "so, what's your major?" is the normal topic of choice for casual conversation. i always meant to go to college, i just... never made up my mind. but i think realistically, if i had gone, i would have graduated with a bachelors by now and since i JUST figured out what i want to do in life... i'd probably just be one of those aforementioned people. so maybe i shouldn't feel bad.
