The thought of a job well done is the best reward.

Actually, even though, logically, I know this doesn't work, but I'm most motivated by the fear of loosing readership if I miss updates. I'm easily motivated by fear. Fun times.

I just need to find a way to get motivated to rebuild my buffer, which I could totally do if I didn't play so much WoW... and spend so much time on the message board... and in chat...

What's funny is, once you build a readership, missing an update can cause people to check your site more often, to see if theres' an update :P.

When I slack off and don't draw, my writer gwarghs at me, and when I really slack off, starts writing in insulting storylines. Naturally I reciprocate on the art side.

It's true. Star Bored gets more average hits than me everyday than I ever get on a day and he updates only a couple times month, at best.

It makes me wonder though, what would his hits be like if he started actually updating regularly on a schedule. Probably thousands. Numbers I can't comprehend with my puny mortal mind. Thus: I keep updating my comic on time even if today and tomorrow's strips really suck.

Stupid writer's block, curse you. Next week will rawk though. Glee.

I uninstalled STEAM and gave up my counterstriking ways so that I could spend more time on artwork.

it's like a crack I tell ya! Not playing around in my home servers gives me the shakes.... the SHAKES!!

A buffer? whats a buffer?

i always end up doing it at the last minute these last days because of school.
i need to learn some time management :D

More on topic, my motivation is also the fear of losing readers but i'm guessing its the same for all of us.

I know! I miss the chat... But right now, the forum is distracting me enough without adding that (I find it hard to think in French and chat in English... Damn term papers).

Also, I find that once I get into the chat, it's hard to leave, and I need to sleep tonight. D:

I tend to draw the whole weeks worth of comics in one day. I have nothing else to do that day anyhow, as it's only day of the week my fiance works and I don't work, have school, or a car : /

I draw the whole month's worth of comics in one day. If I'm really lazy, the whole year's.
This webcomic, seen here is hosted on the free web host Comic Genesis which pretty much proves its not popular.
Oh noes! Read all about the tormented artist I am!
