Sketching is a good start. Before I finally made my first entry I went
for maybe four or five rounds where I got all excited by the topic and
began scenes which I could never complete by the deadline. It was in a
way the most exciting time but extremely frustrating. When I finally
managed to stagger over the finish line with my first entry I was very
excited to finally have posted something. Looking back I wish I'd been
more patient and systematically acquired necessay skills before I posted
an entry. But that does require making many images that never see the
light of day, which can be very frustrating. That is because there is
really no way to simulate the demands of pulling together a whole scene,
in response to a theme, in two months. I think you can systematically
acquire skills, but then you have to take a real stab at an entry to see
how these skills come into play. All the time you take your real stab at
it you need be prepared to judge in the end whether the result is worth
posting. It's that superego editing role that I am abysmal at. Once I
put a certain amount of effort into a scene, I just publish the damned
thing usually to my regret later.:|

Two ideas that I got from Jaime Vives Piqueres keep me sane. He often
says something to the effect that it's all "just having fun", and also
words to the effect that he pays attention too what he can actually
accomplish.
