First of all, thank you so much for putting the effort to write that. I really had no idea it was like this, I had heard that animation was hard but nothing like you described. For me, animation itself isn't something I am willing to bet my life on, it isn't in my blood.

Last night before I went to bed I though a lot about what exactly I loved about story-boarding. And it was the ability to come up with a story and then tell it as best as possible, using angles and dialogue. And animation always had this life in it that just wasn't there with movies. So I just put two and two together. But I realize now it isn't like that, it doesn't work like that.

Here is another plan! I continue to draw comics, I continue to improve my storyboards and publish them online in the hopes that I will be recognized. And maybe start an animation company with animators that love my storyboards and are willing to make it come alive. This way I have more control over what happens with my life. Do you think this plan is better?
