"When in doubt, leave it out" -- Mark Twain

A partial view of the Clip Studio Paint EX project galley

Mark Twain got it right — leave out the stuff that you spin your wheels getting right. That goes for images as well as words. As much as I treasure every precious creation that I emerges from my brain, it feels good to work with an attitude of plenty rather than paucity. I feels good to get rid of the problems that block progress because they can’t be solved by my current skills.

The picture above shows a section of the Clip Studio Paint EX project view. I’ve been staring at this for months. After I publish this book I’m going to take a week to process what it means to set a goal, create a plan, and carry out that plan inch by inch. Then I’ll start book number three in The Adventures of Jimmy Jay series.
