How do YOU do it?

So I noticed I had achieved a milestone of 100 blams today. Whoop dee do.

You know what else I've noticed? Blam and protection points seem to be inversely proportional to the number of quality Flashes produced by the same user. Check almost any popular user; even Tom doesn't rank very high in the ranks of the Portal Guard.

So I'm here asking: how do all of you do it? Where do you find the time, the resources, the motivation to make something great? What are you doing that I'm not?

And for those of you who are curious (which I doubt are many in number), I have been trying to improve on my original submission, not by adding sound to the same one, but by making a new, more streamlined episode based on the extra tricks and techniques I've picked up on since then. A new plotline buzzes around in my head as you sit here.

So please, do tell me how you manage to keep at it. I'd prefer to hear from fellow college students, since they'll have the best understanding of my own situation. With any luck, I'll have a brand new batting average before 2010.

Ciao.

What else can you do? Watch TV?
There isn't anything to life if you don't do what you want to do.

True, I suppose. Thanks for the response.

Well, sounds obvious I know, but when you work on somthing that you're excited about, it makes it easier. You don't always have to spend weeks thinking of a good idea, it's just little things, such as good music.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately inspiration alone hasn't been getting me very far lately; sort of the "if it's not one thing, it's another" situation. But I'll take your words to heart.

Point taken.

I decided a while ago to only find crappy submissions and blam them. That way I don't have to wade through all the mediocre and barely-passing flashes.

Dawnslayer 2009-03-22 17:04:42

I tried that, but found it a rather depressing existence.

if you dont have a life, job, or family, you'll have the time. the motivation is wanting to be level 30 in B/P points: suppreme commander

you know if you just take a minute or two a day for about a year or two and youd be a very high level in that or the levels area
