Anyways, to help me get better organized...at least for my high priority creative projects (I have way many more than what I'm listing here, heh)...I'm updating my wipe-board calendar for the next two months. I figure that will give me enough evening and weekend work to:
- - update my online portfolio (update design and content)
- - create a new "book" to leave or send out to job prospects (yes, I really want a job in the animation industry and I'm definitely looking outside of Texas now for that first step in my new career...sad but true)
- - finish illustrating the first two chapters in my graphic novel
- - finish a dummy book for one of the three children's picture books I've been developing
- - finalize character designs for the animation short
- - tighten and update storyboards for the animation short (we should have about 3 meetings in the next 8 weeks.
- - schedule specific modeling and animation tutorials (gotta keep up the practice!!)
By setting myself a schedule like this, detailed and specific much like my old class schedules, I'll be able to better manage my list of "things to do". I figure that after two months, I'll re-evaluate and see what progress I've made. Hopefully, I can give myself an "A". :)

Planning is always a good idea; I always work better with a plan. When getting your portfolio together have you considered attending Siggraph? It can be a great way to network.
Yup, I sure have. I've been several times in fact since about '96...and run into some old multimedia and graphic design colleagues of mine (work and school) almost every time I've gone. :) SIGGRAPH has frequently been the inspirational shot-in-the-arm for me. Can't swing the funds this year, so I'm planning on going to San Diego Comic-Con instead (I have a place to stay and as a "professional toy designer"...ooo-la-lah, heh, I get in free) and getting the chance to network with a different set of artists.
