i dont know what the end date for the contest is (so just keep chuggin on it!), but i totally feel you on this. theres been a lot of projects ive done that i only half finished or barely started and then gave up on just because a lot of the times theres just no energy to get it done. 

if you have big plans for a project but soon find its more than you can manage in what time you want to do it, theres nothing wrong with pulling back on the scale of the project. youll surprise yourself by what you can do when you knock your self expectations down a bit.

along time ago (like, YEARS) i started work on a comic project that i thought ‘hey im gonna work on this, make a 10 or 20 page comic and then see if i feel up to making more, maybe do like 2 or 3 self contained stories and just feel things out.’ i didnt have a plan or anything, just a handful of loosely connected ideas and a bit of free time. i just worked on it as it came to me, bit by bit and when i finally decided i was done with it, the story ended up being over 700 pages long. i mean, it took years to do, but i hope you see my point.
