I think it was my burn-out and nervous breakdown around this time last year that really taught me this important lesson. Sometimes we tend to think we are invincible and can do anything, but we really are more fragile over the long term.<br /><br />I'm more careful this year. I've come close to burning out a few times, but instead of stubbournly plugging on, I'm learning recognise that I'm

the last thing you want to do, ping, is suffer from burn out... so it's good to step back a little and see all sorts of other things are going on in the unreal world! but at least webcomic artists are doing something creative... it's not like we're playing 24 hours straight of quake (or whatever)... oh wait... some are!

John Lennon said it best--"Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." Best to get out there and live. And hey, if doing webcomics and webcomic-related things is part of that life, groovy. But like you said--there's more to existence and life than sitting in front of our computers all the time.

Sound advice. I've been <A HREF="http://rocr.xepher.net/weblog/archives/000709.html" REL="nofollow">struggling with that myself</A> lately (apart from the regurgitatin'. I don't think I've ever done that). Now I've got heaps of life coming at me, and I hope I can cope.

Pffft! Life shmife! Your advice smacks of undisciplinedness! ;)<br /><br />Honestly though, it is a danger we face. I'd suspect that the danger lies more in the "web" portion of the term <I>webcomic</I>. I believe that it takes a special circumstance for artistic storytellers like we cartoonists to exist. Namely, we need to be easily able to live inside our heads for long spells. If we're already
