Lacking motivation
3 years ago
General
I haven't updated my comic or posted any art in a very long time. It's not that I'm out of inspiration, but that I'm out of motivation. I have ideas in my head, but I don't have the willpower to sit down and draw them. I have been sketching a lot, but nothing that advances the stories of my two comic series.
I have done a few drawings I'm happy with, but they have nothing anthro in them, so I haven't posted anything on my furry platforms.
I have been hit by a debilitating mix of laziness and depression lately. I'm working long shifts and I get out too tired to do much more than sleep until the next day. Then during the weekend, when I should work on my comics, I just play video games. When the weekend is over, I feel guilty for not drawing and promise myself I will draw the next weekend, then the cycle repeats.
I need to end this dry spell somehow.

Nothing to do but endure 'till your circumstances change. You can't force inspiration.

I can muscle when I'm able to do it. pacing and meditation, it's easier said then done but if you can figure out how to relax and do without doing eventually you'll get there. I get that way a lot too, just those hills you got to get over, but yes....I totally get understand.
I have at least a half-dozen stories in my head at any given time but I seldom get past the first few pages before the blah sets in. Who is my audience? Why doesn't anyone care? The biggest problem is people are too lazy to read, any more.

Maybe it's the winter blues? I'll have to bring this up with my therapist for my next session with him.
Hope you hit the upswing soon dooder =)
