I actually just got done watching the collaboration you were a part of, and yours had the most impressive fluidly smooth animation. I literally felt like I sat through the rest of them.
So what the hell are you doing? You're wasting time by NOT animating.

You can't particularly rely on people seeking you out for what little you've produced. You have to gain initiative.
I mean, animation is incredibly labor intensive...this shit is difficult, but if it were easy everybody would do it. You gotta be a self-starter...and by being a self-starter, a problem solver in case you run into a snag in the middle of a production.
Sure, tablets make things hella easy...but you see when Tom starts giving away tablets to kids with potential, right? If you're strapped on funds why don't you work towards that.
Learn to be comfortable with the mouse, and just start churning out flash after flash after flash...they don't even need to be good; just get them out there! In time, someone could recognize your potential, and while funds are accumulating from all the hits you're receiving from flash ads, before you know it, you could be up and qualified to receive some free hardware.
You can't bank on that, of course, but it IS a goal. It could give you focus to start knocking some flashes out!
They ain't going to animate themselves, now will they?

Wait what? Tom is giving out tablets to people with potential? Since when?! =O
I suppose your right though. When that collab got released, I did have a moment of 'fame' I guess you can call it. I think I have the potential. And yeah I already know flash takes a while. @_@ Maybe I'm just being lazy.
I'll keep your words in mind. I'm probably too use to people taking me by the hand and showing me the way. Time to start doing stuff my own way.
