I think I may have just been handed an incredible opportunity. I recieved a text from Triptych Books about 30 minutes ago and they wanted to know if I could... Well, if I could provide artwork for them when they present themselves to some possible investors.

To be honest, this is completely mind-blowing for me. I've only known these guys for one month, but I won't deny that I find their work to be absolutely brilliant! Their writing is absolutely amazing and so incredibly- no, beautifully creative, I can see all of it in my head. I can even feel the temperature of the moments and taste the background scents in the air when I look at their works. Half of what they've done, they actually described to me one-on-one. I truley respect them for what they do and how hard they've been working at it for the last few years with the amount of obstacles they've run into. They're so determined, I feel like a pebble between pillars when I watch them.

I would take this in a heartbeat if I wasn't enrolled in so many classes right now! It's practically being given to me on a silver plate, but it's presence is questioning my priorities.

On the one hand: I could refuse. I could tell them I'm too busy with classes and get back to all of the work I have (especially when I'm already two weeks behind in one class already).

On the other: I could take it. But this could go in three directions from there! 1) I do this work at the cost of homework at the college. 2) I do this work but fail to make the deadlines, due to the time spent on homework and create a lose/lose situation for myself.

But #3 catches my interest... I could create this work... WITHOUT falling behind on homework and yet STILL reach the deadlines.

If... And this is a huge 'if'... If I could DO that. If I actually succeeded. That would be phenomenal! Not only would I feel proud of my work, but I would also be starting the tiny steps in my career. I would recieve credit for this work, and as Triptych grows stronger, I'm going to be noticed.

Is this making sense yet?

THIS COULD GET MY FOOT IN THE DOOR!

I have to go think about this... I can't sleep now anyway.
