    Realised I don’t really struggle with writing or art. I struggle with perfectionism, lack of energy, and attention.

    Also the idea of sharing it (which is what initially made me want to create?) is really causing me to lock up.

    Maybe I’ll just stop trying to create for others, retreat back to doing random landscapes and pictures of my cat.

      I would love to see them. I’m not an artist but I love crafts. I can appreciate how much effort people put in even if it’s not perfect.

          Haha. Relax. I love miniatures so I visit r/miniatures which combines craft with art if you’re interested.

      When I started making music just for me to listen to, the pressure dropped immensely.

      As a side effect, when I’ve show people they’ve been amazed at how good it is.
