    I wish I’d stop switching between hobbies/projects as fast as I do, I feel like I end up wasting so much money. I start working on a project, order some of the stuff I need, spend hours researching it, and then by the next month I’m already in another hobby hole and start ordering things for that. It’s an absolute curse. I’ve got so much crap I got specifically for a project just lying around

    It’s not even because I properly lose interest in them, it’s because I find something else I want to do and being more recent it sits further up in my mind. The net result is rather than having 5 completed projects I’ve got 25 only barely started ones

      It’s normal to have many projects on the go at the same and at all different levels of completion. NORMAL.

      Work on the ones you feel inspired to work on that day.

      Fuck where does this expectation and guilt about art come from? School probably.

      But every artist I know has lotsa stuff on the go all the time.

      My problem with this is having things come up and not getting back to them for a while, which then just never happens. I don’t get to work on things enough to make a habit and get momentum
