stuff I need to keep telling myself

I have chosen a profession that demands most of my time

I wanna make cartoons for money and not do this remote cooking thing

This job isn’t a waste of time, even thought it’s not what I want to be doing right now

This job will help me make something really funny and cool

It will be worth it

It has to be worth it

You already know dis is my mantra too. If we repeat it enough times, we might start believing it!

Our well paying but draining jobs are a stepping stone across the river. Our dream jobs as cartoon making peoples is on the other side waiting for us! We just gotta get across this first! We must not lose sight of it. Even when it feels like we’re stuck! Just one foot in front of the other, no matter what.

We got this far, we can get through this! Hoooooyaaaaaah!

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ 

THIS. It is truly a labor of love to work to support your art. And it is HARD. But worth it.

Convention Updates!

I won’t be at Confuzzled this year (sobbing), BUT Furcon 2015 is a go! Yes, I will have a table! Yes, I will see if I can do a panel or two! It’s in San jose, California in January. Plan early so you can be there! 🙂

As this is, currently, the only other con that I am signed up for… I will be spending the next several months revamping everything. What does this mean? 

  • a ton of new art
  • fun new products (which I will be experimenting with using redbubble and the like)
  • consistent comic updates
  • the actual printing of Dangerous Cute book #1 AND short graphic novel
  • better, faster, stronger clingy and card badges, as well as other commissions
  • and more?!

…

Incidentally, I had a dream last night that I showed up to FC only to realize that I had forgotten all of my supplies. Uhm. Let’s hope this won’t happen.

Weight loss with PCOS: Why is it SO hard?

Weight loss with PCOS: Why is it SO hard?

How many times have you been to the doctor only to be told to lose weight to improve your Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome symptoms? Easier said than done, right! We know that weight gain and difficulty with weight loss with PCOS is part and parcel of the condition and we seem to be fighting a constant battle with the scale. But, why is it so darn hard to lose weight? Just what is it about PCOS that makes weight loss seem virtually impossible? Let’s have a look at what is happening in our bodies and what some of the research says about weight loss and PCOS. Insulin Resistance and the Role of Insulin in PCOS Insulin is an important hormone that is responsible for metabolizing glucose or dealing with sugar in our blood stream. It transports sugar to the muscles and if the body has more glucose than is needed, insulin is involved in the process of storing it as fat should we need it later (1). Research shows that women with PCOS have some kind of dysfunction in the cells […]

PCOS Explained To Your Partner

PCOS Explained To Your Partner

ourpcos:

This one is for your partner, family and significant other. One of the lovely ladies in the PCOS Diet Support community recently asked me to write an explanation of PCOS for our partners and significant others. Something that makes PCOS easy to understand. I was diagnosed after being married for 3 years and my  hubby has been amazingly supportive. I’ve written this article with him in mind (even though he knows most of it anyway). What is PCOS? I have PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. I know that you think of it as “woman issues” but it’s important that you know what is happening with me and my body because it affects both of us and I’m really going to need your help in coming to terms with it, living with it and getting it under control. So, I do have “woman issues”. Basically I don’t ovulate every month, which means that my cycle is very irregular. I also might have some cysts on my ovaries. The biggest thing, though, is that I don’t process carbohydrates properly and my body […]

This is always a big question that gets asked, and is important to those of us who get diagnosed with PCOS. Tarryn breaks it down for those who are wondering and need a little help when it comes to explaining PCOS to our loved ones.
