Whats Your Excuse For Not Updating Often Enough?

I needed to move my focus to projects that actually make money, plus a little bit of writer's block through me off. Been playing ping pong a lot lately too.

Ping pong?

Well, so long as its something that matters.

My wife is REALLY competitive.

I would guess that it is not in your best interest to win.

Unless you've got a very nice couch.

Actually, it's the fact that I do win that she wants to keep playing. She doesn't like to end a ping pong session on a loss, usually.

Crimefighting. You guys have NO idea how time consuming that is.

...

Also, school and life.

I'm actually not only totally lazy but I also have the self-esteem of a depressed tapeworm, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

Drawing my webcomic is a hobby for me. That means when I have to make time choices it's right there with other hobbies in the priority list.

My boss gets to complain, or not, about my work ethic and even there only about my job.

- I don't have enough material to update too often. (My comic is autobiographical, and my life is actually very fucking boring.)

- I don't feel like investing more into it right now.

- And even if I did, I'm not sure the artist would have time to draw more strips.

I spend longer and longer on each page, so it gets harder to meet the deadlines. Also some of the pages intimidate me. I look at the script or rough sketch and I'm not sure how to tackle the real thing, so the work starts out slower and unblocks eventually.

I never make excuses for missing an update. I always have a perfectly good explanation. Like that time I really got into the Pokémon Sapphire game I got for my birthday and missed a week of updates due to it.

The only times I've had when I haven't updated (or, I rather, I did upate, but it was with fillery character sketches) were over the holidays, when I didn't have a)tablet b) access to internet and c)spent 13+ hours of driving over thre days.

So, those were pretty legit reasons, I think. Once in a while I update late. Usually when I get wrapped up in trying to to create a better more delicious Cosmos.

... and apparently also messing around on CG forums...

City of Heroes / Villains, Porn, Bad quality of art, College, and general laziness.

Yes! This is exactly what's been happening to me lately.

I make no excuses for the fact that laziness plays a big factor in why I don't update, however there are a few other reasons. For the longest time whenever I got the motivation to work on a comic my scanner always chose that time to crap out for no reason and by the time I got it working again I was to frusterated to work. I'll also pull out the old University excuse but, that won't be valid come April (God willing) After which productivity should increase as I seem to do more work on my comic when I'm supposed to be doing any sort of real job.

Laziness, AP classes, Running a club, tutoring people, being in two shows and getting home at 10 pm, college apps, exams, and complete nervous breakdowns.

Oh, and World of Warcrack.

I waited a good two years until I made a real site for mt comic, so I've been living off a pleasant back load. But it's already almost out. I need to draw more soon

sans the backup, I'm a lazy muthaeffa

No excuses. I just update when I say I'm going to.

Goddamn do I hate this "non-student" life!

I DIDN'T EVEN TAKE AN ART DEGREE Dammit!

Two jobs and a girlfriend. Why isn't there a "life gets in the way" option? God help me when I start taking classes.
