I have started a million blogs, and I have failed at keeping up on 999,999 of them. I'm hoping that this one sticks, but in all likelihood, I will instead delete this after realizing, full of shame, that I haven't updated it in three months.
For me, creative self-sabotage occurs when I am struck by inspiration but immediately think of many negative things that stop me from creating.
I know what you mean about a strange year, and I've heard it from a few friends as well. I hope that whatever creative fog has descended upon us lifts in 2023!
Commitment is always the issue, isn't it? I'm struggling with it myself, especially after a strange year that absolutely sapped my creative desires. I didn't even want to read much this year--and I'm a voracious reader normally. While I don't know what you mean by creative self-sabotage, I wish you the best of luck!
I've written the first draft of my book, I've had the first draft printed and marked up the copy to excess during editing...now, why can't I seem to implement the changes and move on to the second draft?
Maybe a part of me is a little intimidated by the fact that I've "finished" the book. I say "finished" because of course, it isn't finished...but it's closer. After this book, I have two more to go in my trilogy and then it'll be time to say goodbye to the characters I've developed over the past decade. It's a strange feeling.
Do any of you grow attached to your characters and if so, how do you properly send them off in your mind?
