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 hesitated when it comes to writing for too long. Either I feel like I'm not good enough, or inspiration is in short supply, or SOMETHING happens and I can't bring myself to write. I don't really believe in New Year's resolutions, but I feel like I'm at a major turning point. I have to commit to being the writer and artist I've always dreamed of being, or I have to lay down my brushes and pens. I can't continue in this ridiculous cycle of creative self-sabotage any longer.
