Working through a block, sort of
.
It’s not always an easy ride, being creative and productive. Numbers don’t really translate to quality, at least not in a straightforward way, motivation can drop, and then you start thinking. And of course, more thinking follows.

I found that periods of increased stress block my creativity significantly, and I’m probably stating the obvious here. I start doubting my direction, approach, but not much constructive criticism or output is left at the end of the day.

I think I said it before, but I believe in thinking-by-doing. The only way to get through a block, for me, is to ignore the tight knot of my doubts, and face the problem camera in hand.

Sure enough, after a brake of even several days, it may be a bit harder, I will likely produce more reasons to use my ‘delete’ button than ‘share’, but such is probably the nature of the beast. In my case, the recent block was probably also caused by me publishing Side A and Side B. Seeing what you managed to do in almost a year can have some unexpected consequences, apparently.
.

I’m still not fully going ahead as I used to, but getting there. Hopefully it’s a matter of weeks to get back to my usual form.
