RE: #09 Animation - 5 BRUTAL SIGNS TO NOT WORK FOR THAT ANIMATION COMPANY!!!
@zord189, your tell-it-like-it-is style has definite charm wrapped in plenty of truth. It isn't easy being a creative person. You have to protect yourself constantly in a world that doesn't offer much appreciation or encouragement unless you get to be really famous. Not everyone wants that, actually. Fame brings its own problems. It's another challenge in maintaining your creative zest and self-esteem. And I see you are meeting some of the same lessons others (including me) have come to know so well.
Perhaps everyone has to cross these bridges in one way or another, but it would be nice to think some can learn from your experience (and your post) and avoid the wasted years and awful pain. That part is real. So is the regret and anger ... including at yourself. Especially at yourself. Keep writing. I am loving this series.
