I think I have a little bit of art block. For some reason, it feels like the well of creativity is dry - or maybe it's not that at all! Because I do have plenty of ideas, but I'm struggling with the act of bringing pen to paper, or pen to tablet. Something about it all has become unexpectedly daunting for some reason.
I recall sometimes getting scared of my creativity. I'd write something and then it'd turn into sludge in some way - like none of the words would make sense and there would be no structure. What was in my mind would not translate to paper properly and it would leave me with dissatisfaction. It's very difficult to write things other than poetry for this reason for me.
Other times when it comes to drawing, sometimes it'll be as easy as I'll make a line or a circle, and then something in my brain will whisper to me and I'll throw away the draft. It takes persistence to actually get a drawing out.
I hope this will pass quickly, but it does kinda suck being in the throes of it again. Sigh. Hell world.
If anyone else knows how to get through this, or has suffered similar experiences of this sort of art block, please do share how you got out of it, or your experiences! I'd like to know.
