Take a Refreshing Break

scanned 016 Okay, there is a part to writing and drawing everyday that can get to you. I honestly don’t know how comic strip artists do it on a daily basis.

I’ve been going through one of those phases as of late.

I am in the middle of getting over that hurdle. Here are a few steps I have taken to make life just a little clearer in terms of just being able to get things done again and get those creative juices flowing.

Cleaned the house (see tips here)
got rid of a bunch of extra stuff (sent it all off to the church yard sale this week)
Read two novels in two completely different genres. (“Patrick” by Stephen Lawhead & “Prey”, by Michael Crichton)
Got rid of a few extra things by giving them away. (like an extra blog I was running, www.relevantmessage.org)
Completely cleared out my overflowing inbox by archiving it all and replying to only the most urgent emails.
Oh, and bought an xbox 360 and played some Oblivion

It been pretty much like a mini vacation where I still accomplished a lot of things in the meantime. I think I can come back to the drawing board/keyboard with a little more confidence now.
