So I’m in a bit of a funk when it comes to working on my art, or any of my projects really.
I recently left a hostile pony community I spent too much time in (upwards of 3 years) and since then I’ve flatlined when it comes to my projects. The reason I bring up that community is because in between periods of arguments and self-loathing I’d enter this “I’ll show them” state and get some work done. But the mood would never last long enough to consistently churn out content like I want to and I end up doing nothing.
Now that I’m out I still feel stuck, like I can’t kickstart myself to work on anything. It’s not that I don’t feel good enough (although every artist wishes they could be better), the desire is there, the ideas are there, but the motivation isn’t. I’m like a ship at full-mast but the wind isn’t blowing in the right direction.
I really don’t know what to do to get myself out of this funk. And even if I do summon enough energy to work on something, it gets very little reception once it’s posted, so it’s like “I just wasted all the effort for nothing. what’s the point?”
I dunno, just felt like venting.
