Wow, I am ten percent towards my goal of Five straight years of weekly Super Party webcomics without missing one. It’s exciting but scary. It’s awesome and awful at the same time.

The scary and awful comes in the excitement of getting started. The form of the thing is still yet to be made manifest. Once you’ve shoved your stake into the ground, you’ve started the process of actually having to see the reality of the thing. I think a fear that the reality will not live up to the dream of it is a major thing that keeps many would-be geniuses stuck. Getting started is so often the hardest part.

It’s Awesome and exciting because when you understand the importance of being prolific, you can’t wait to see what the thing actually looks like. Rushing to get on to the next thing is almost as dangerous as not moving at all, but it’s way more fun. Flying by the seat of your pants is way more fun than waiting in the lounge for your flight to board (it’s probably going to be delayed yet again so you should just charter your own. This unnecessarily grand metaphor was brought to you by Sean Ward’s Super Party – the choice of a new generation)

Ten percent is a big chunk, enough that I can kind of start to see the grand scope of what it will look like when it’s done. But it’s still way early and the most exciting parts are still to come.
