I'm so sorry to hear that Money is important, but it is more important to enjoy your work, or at least have few days off. What is your payment worth, when you always will complain the way you earned it? I would say if you don't like your work - definitely quit it.
Few years ago I was in the same situation, I worked for about 3 months, 9 hours a day, 7 days a week. I had no free weekends, during those months I had only few days off (which I spent sleeping all day long), I had to wake up at 5am every morning, it took me 2 hours to get to my job, I used to get back home around 7-8pm, and go to sleep around 10pm. I completely had no life, and during those months I didn't have strength or a free minute to even sketch something. It's so awful, and all the money that I earned, is long time gone and all I remember is all that awful time that I had. It is not worth it to sacrifice yourself for a job that takes away your free time. There are better jobs out there, you just have to search. I wish you best of luck, let me know how everything goes

Well, and about me, I'm still having the same job, still illustrating stuff. Recently I was contacted by another book publishing company, and we made a contract to work together. So now I'm working with two companies that publishes books but with that, comes more work to do, and these days were very busy.

I just really hope you will be ok, not having the right job, especially the one that takes away your free time, for an artist it is just devastating :/

Heh, you're quite welcome. I'm just doing my best to look out for Hali and keep everything in order. ^^ Ah, her artwork is quite wonderful, isn't it? It'll all be re-uploaded within the next few days, so nothing to worry about on that part. Hali herself will be back within at least a month or about five at most. So, no worries.

Also, of course she'll get to see it c:
As soon as she's back, I'll be sure to send it over to her c:

In the meantime though, you'll find me kicking around here and managing things.
For the most part, I'll just be posting journal entries on things, managing everybody who enjoys her artwork, and I'll likely slap some of my writing up in a little side folder just to keep it in one place.

Hehe, anyways,
Thank you very much ^^
