I cannot blame it all on other's procrastination or busy-ness either. My own procrastination is more to blame than anything.
However, I rejoice to report that I have, once again, re-begun work on The Cow Cavalry. After a few minutes of struggling, trying to remember what my vision was, I settled into the task with a determination to work on it every day (minus Lord's Days and Holidays...and other days when I simply cannot get to it). If I get 2-4 AfterEffects completed per day, I should make fairly decent progress.
I have also projected a release date (for myself as much as anything): March 28, 2015. I still do not promise it shall be out by then, but that is what I am shooting for. (The significance of that apparently random date is that March 28, 1864 was the day that the Cow Cavalry was officially authorized to begin operations.)
I look forward to that day!
