Doing artwork/writing novels instead of?

[Moxxi]

What do you artists and writers neglect to do in favor of your comics/artwork/novels? For me, it's simply good sleep that I can get in favor of a few extra hours of sketching and inking, just to get an extra page done for the week. I'll pretty much choose drawing over sleep any day.

Exercise, lol

I'm probably screwing over my future self.
It's not like I don't enjoy it; I have fun working out...
...It's just that I have more fun writing and drawing...

[VibrantFox]

sleep....eat....stretch...future me probably hates current me

[Raven_C]

exercise for me as well.

exerCISE--
doing my homework, college stuff

I am a total procrastinator lol

[praelia]

there's been so many times where i've lost track of time while drawing. most times i would forget to eat, drink (keeping hydrated is so important!!) and also stretch. breaks are especially vital for me since my wrists tend to hurt a lot if i draw or write too much

sometimes i neglect college for comics, but now college is comics. so im neglecting comics... to make comics........ one way or another

Be a proper student and a decent human being.

I'm having a big presentation next Monday, nice way to go ruining my life.

And also, sleep. Because once I got immersed on something I can forgo eating and sleeping.

Exercise, going outside, stretch. I'll probably die in front of my computer.

Studying...not even homework, just studying. That's pretty much it.

I used to be one of those kids who'd sacrifice everything for my next masterpiece, but now that (a) school costs money and (b) I've realized no one cares about my work except me and maybe 25 other people, I don't really feel like it's worth it to destroy myself anymore. =/ Fame isn't coming anytime soon; might as well get a good night's sleep in the meantime...

Having a decent sleep schedule like a functioning human.

I'm a night owl. XD

Sorry to hear that many of you artists aren't getting enough exercise these days, due to your love of comic-making. My way around this problem is that my work is fairly physical to begin with, so I fill that quota pretty much every night, fortunately.

Organizing. I have a small house and it takes a lot of organizing to keep it uncluttered. Since I started comics it's.. well, very cluttered and I'll have to do something about that in a near future.

Music. Rarely have the time to play anything. It's a pity, but I'd rather draw for now.

Sleep.
Exercise.
Seeing Friends.
Playing Video Games.
Social Events.
Reading.

Basically all I do is work, and I still feel like I don't do enough. It's the cost of pursuing the dream, right?

Def gotta go with the "instead of getting exercise" crowd. I really want to, I just dread those first few days of pain after the first exercise when your body is trying to adjust again...

Developing apps and Playing/making videogames.

Since breaking out in the tech industry, my goal used to be developing some kind of app. Since I've started working on comics about technology I've found a different way to get my techie fix.

I've actually adopted better health habits though such as diet, sleep, excercise, reading etc...

[Kittosaurus]

Exercise.. for sure

It doesn't help that I'm stuck at a sedentary desk job for 40 hours a week as well..

[GFalconDX]

Well, I definitely sacrifice an hour or 2 of sleep every night unless I feel I really need it. As I'm working full time AND going to school part time, managing both time and money really comes in handy!
