Howdy Tim, loved your work ever since being up all night playing 'Full Throttle'. Man, was that game cinematic. The dialogue in the subsequent Grim Fandango was so hilarious, it rivalled or exceeded anything I saw in theatres at the time (this was the time when Pixar was in full swing, yet dialogue, especially funny dialogue, in videogames was still considered a niche thing).
Anyway, my question is, in running your own business for 15 years, how much time of your day do you spend on business/finance type things vs. creative things like writing and game design? Is it a 50/50 type thing? Also, you being the boss, how many hours do you work in a day? Do you pretty much have to work 16 hours a day or something? I can imagine that you don't have a separation of work and life, since this probably is your life. Or do you try to go the opposite route and stay "regular" so to speak, in terms of office hours. I have my own shop and go back and forth, promising to have regular hours, only to get all jumbled up again and suddenly finding myself working at 4 am.
