feelings of professionalism? ( - ) 

So like.
I should be drawing for Patreon. I have not one but TWO fucking comics to be working on.

But like, one I don't even have sketches for and the other I wish I'd started differently and it's making me not want to finish it.

But it's been nearly 2 months with only 1 page done? And like... I feel like I'm really letting people down? I don't even look at Patreon right now for fear of losing all my patrons.

feelings of professionalism? ( - ) 

@Draekos There's a thing I've found I need to live by, because the alternative is spirals of depression:

Whatever I *can* do *has* to be enough.

People who care will understand if you're overloaded or underspooned and can't do as much as you'd like. (...and who cares about people who don't care?)

Don't try to fill in all the gaps with yourself; you'll run out of self long before life will run out of gaps that need filling.

(I hope this is helpful.)
