My biggest OCT memory is watching Artists at the Ready, especially back when deviantart communities were the big places you wanted to be in. Had a nasty nasty bout of jealousy from a contestant for making such a good comic while I wasn't even close to drawing a good illustration, but in the end I kinda swallowed my pride and went back to working at my own pace when they were disqualified for burning out and not finishing their entry. That energy came from somewhere that eventually ran out...
Nowadays, I know that one project at a time means one project only. Some people can juggle tons of things and do great! But you can't go further than your body's limits and mine aren't there yet.
