@continuation Thank you! Excellent advice. I had completely forgotten to make an introduction (partly because I assumed no one would see it). I'll work on that today!
@ItsMeChrisWade I have seen more than one total breakdown by a creator who was "working their dream job" in animation. It would be nice if people could a) have a creative career while b) earning enough money to live a tolerable life and c) not collapsing under the strain of even attempting both at the same time.
(I'm a writer, but have only worked in animation once – and I never got paid in the end.)
