And I simply ignore huge piles of unimportant tasks that would normally consume an assistant. I'm still totally committed to remaining employeeless. I try to read it all, but I can't respond personally to every message. People never stop telling me to learn to draw. I don't feel like anything is conquered.
Every day is a new set of challenges.
For example, I'm deeply involved in the upcoming Dilbert animated TV show for UPN, due in January. Lately I think I'm driven by curiousity about how things will work out more than by any other motivation. Everyone gets to find their own best answer. Best of luck with everything, including staying sane. Idea Cafe Inc.
