I'm not feeling very energetic...
10 years ago
I know that I always say that I'm going to start posting more content, but I find it hard to stay motivated to finishing or making something. I'll feel motivated at the time, but then I'll stop and just stare at the page, or I'll start something and not finish it. I feel like I'm not able to make art unless I'm practically FORCED to. I just don't get it.
I know that art is the only thing I want to do in my future, but if I can't force myself to draw everyday, then how am I supposed to achieve my goals?
I'm sorry if this seems like a weird journal, but if you guys have any tips for me, I'd appreciate it.

You and I are the polar opposite of a perfectionist. Whereas a perfectionist feels driven to keep working on one project until it's perfect, we want to start new things all the time. It works in our favour - if you make more of something you'll be better at it. Our horizons are broader and we are better at seeing things obliquely and taking a creative cue from that - but we do have to work hard to keep at something after the initial excitement's gone.
Keep working at your existing projects. It's worth it when you finish one. You'll feel pleased with yourself - and rightly so! Train yourself to do that and you'll get the best of both worlds.
Also, thanks for the Watch!
And you're welcome!
