ACTION PLAN

Working backwards from the submission date for the Sherlock Holmes Folio Society Brief is making me anxious. It is very close and I really should be further along in the process of that competition if I am going to enter. I'm wondering about not doing this one after all. I am interested in it and I would like to have a go but perhaps I should be spending my time on something that REALLY excites me rather than scares me. I know it's good to push my comfort zones and have something a bit different in my portfolio but I don't know if I have the time to pull it off.

This is definitely something I'll ask about in my crit tomorrow: SHOULD I TAKE THE CHALLENGE AND DO THE FOLIO BRIEF, OR DO I ABANDON SHIP AND MOVE ON?
All I have so far is two sketches of Sherlock so I don't feel attached or committed, which is probably why I'm still umming and ahhing over the whole brief - I don't want to commit because I don't know whether I'll carry through with it, so I don't want to waste any time starting before I've answered this question.

I WANT to get started on my children's book idea but I feel like I need the 'go-ahead', permission to get moving with that, since it's not a live/competition brief PLUS I'm worried that I'll leave COP behind by moving onto this project.

ON A POSITIVE NOTE, I MADE A TIMETABLE/ACTION PLAN which I've been putting off for weeks. I also tidied my studio. I'm feeling like a proud adult and it is so pleasing to tick off tasks once I've finished them.
