Oh man what a year this has been. I feel like I haven't slowed down in weeks. This has become really apparent in my creative endeavors. I haven't had much time to write, and when I do I'm usually super tired and not really into the idea of doing anything. This, of course, is counter intuitive to creating stuff in the first place. We create things as a way of release and de-stressing but we can't do it because we're too stressed. It's this weird catch-22 that I've been struggling to overcome my entire life.
I'm gonna be real for a second... I have struggled with feeling not quite good enough at anything I do for as long as I can remember. I love to write, but I feel like my work is not great. I am learning to draw, but it's the exact same story. I want to stream, but I don't think I have an interesting enough personality to keep someone interested for a multi hour gaming session. It dark little passenger that sits on my shoulder and continues to tell me that my stuff sucks. I get lots of positive reinforcement from friends and loved ones all the time. I'm not fishing for compliments. However, despite what people say, I just can't see what they see if they see anything at all. Anyway, seriousness aside I am just about finished with the next section of "The Sisters". It was a particularly long section and I wanted to get it right. It is less talking and more action this time around so it presents a unique challenge for me. I am in the process of editing it right now and hope to have it posted by this weekend. I know I've said that before. This time I mean it. I have to fight this nagging feeling and just get it our there for people to read. I can't get better unless I get eyes on it. If any of you have any suggestion on how to overcome self doubt I would love to hear some. Sound off in the comments either here or on my rooster teeth page
