• Realize I'm falling behind on projects I want to do.
• Spend all kinds of time reorganizing and prioritizing existing started projects to try to get a nice workflow with the goal of making something every 7 to 10 days
• Peruse some animation focused channels on YouTube
• Get inspired by some animation motions
• Take an hour and sketch out some cycles and become enthralled by the magic of bringing something to life on my screen.
• Sink another few hours cleaning up the motion from my allotted drawing time
• Because I've already sunk a few hours into it I throw out all the work I did planning decide to make this the project of the week
• Picks one of the most visually complicated characters I've made
• Tries to add some other motions to the first one to make it more interesting. Some work, some don't.
• Spends sizeable parts of a couple of days alternating between being enchanted by the magic of animation and dispirited by how many things need to be done or fixed
• Stumbles across the finish line. Gets ready to post. Finds two mistakes. Grumbles. Fixes. And is back here.
• WILL NEVER LEARN XS

This is why I've so many things to finish. But did learn a bunch more animation tricks.
