just remember y’all - even if you only post one artfight sketch this month, you’re still doing your part and making someone’s day (that’s their character ! wow !)
so don’t put too much pressure on yourself
I needed to hear this. I’m on day 3 of being like “aaaaaa I need to participate oh no” and I’ve turned a fun thing into a mental obligation for myself 😅
Starting in 2022 I relegated attacks to streams only as a means of enforcing a lower-pressure experience. There are fewer overall, but my brain is free to focus on other things outside of it for most of any given week. I recommend similar boundaries to anyone who is worried about burnout or pressure
ngl i felt the pressure a little this year-- it just seems like there are so many new participants!
but, i then remembered that many of them have a lot more time on their hands, and since i have professional projects I can't just use all of my time drawing for fun this month. I make peace. =A=
