The huge lack of artwork I've done this year and last year is really dragging on me. I don't think I've done even 50 pieces, even including minor ones, since December 2013. I have a feeling that my grieving process is taking a toll on my interest in doing things, as I often get into that LOVELY situation where I'm irritated or bored and can't think of anything to occupy myself. But it doesn't feel like a good enough reason to excuse my lack of work, and it's depressing. One of the things that really makes me feel the worst is the fact I opened up QnAs all the way back in May, I only had 6 questions to do, they're really easy, quick sketches, and I still haven't completed them. I feel like I'm making them more difficult than they need to be, as I did a somewhat dynamic pose for Matt and I started to do that for Vivienne too. And it made me frustrated when it didn't work out. So... I guess I should stick to very easy poses like I did for the first two QnAs. I'm going to try and do a "Don't Break The Chain" thing, where four times a week I draw for 15-20 minutes minimum on assigned days. And I'll mark on the calendar which days I do something. If I fill out a month, I'll treat myself by buying a new retro game for my collection using my savings account. And not any cheap $5 game either. Depending on how many days I miss is how much money will be deducted from my budget for rewards. $30 for a full month, $25 if I miss one day, $20 for two days, and $15 for three days missed. Any more than that and I don't get any reward that month. So yeah, hoping I can motivate myself with adding to my collection. And having the willpower to not reward myself when I don't do the work.
