subscribestarHey everyone.
I have a few commissions in queue and I'm working on them--far too slowly for my liking. I keep mentioning on twitter (be sure to follow me there, same username!) that I'm burnt out and I don't know how to get my mojo back. I need a break but I can't afford, quite literally, to take one. I'm behind on commissions and Patreon rewards and every time I catch up, I just fall behind again. It might just be holiday woes and stresses or the fact that we might be stuck here another year in a place that stresses me out beyond all hell, or whatever other reason to stress about.
I am due for another root canal consultaton Wednesday and my booster vaccine Friday and somehow, I still need to get work done and motivate myself in between that and Christmas.
Any other artists or writers have some advice? What do you do when your hand just doesn't want to move? I don't want to disappoint clients but I'm disappointing myself.

*offers hugs* I struggle with this a lot, the motivation to get going is just... missing. I have been trying to change how I view what I do, focus on the goal and not the quota and just work on things, it doesn't always go well, but it helps sometimes. Being mad or disappointed in yourself really just reinforces the negative, so go easy on yourself in that regard. Some days you just won't feel it, but it's not a race and it's not a competition. What matters is that you enjoy the process and that the process is fun for you. I'm still working on the latter, especially when I get stuck.
