okay, whats my problem. why do i have so much trouble consistently making stuff? what are all the blocks that get in the way of me doing the thing i freaking love to do? it doesnt make sense. i love making stuff! its my favorite thing to do. i love making things and sharing them. so why do i seem to have so much trouble actually doing it? 1. i dont know which of my 100 ideas to work on. ok, legit. but this can be solved by making a post schedule (an editorial calendar) and ranking ideas. also by finding deadlines, or reasons to finish something, i.e. contests, festivals, etc. 2. i get overwhelmed by how much work it will take to do the whole thing. sure, i get it. but thats why i do bite-sized things! 15 sec instagram videos. short loopy songs and music videos. art series that i can continually add to. 3. i think whats the point, who cares? ok, i understand. but people do care. in fact i have thousands of people online who care what im doing. who want new art and music. make stuff for them. 4. i get discouraged by lack of sales or response. hmm.. this is tricky. its related to the above, but i addition to having people care about what im doing, i need to find out how to make a living making stuff. the process is always the same: make stuff, share it for free, gauge response, have something available to buy, find places where there are more people who may like it, get them to share it, repeat the process with new and better stuff. how do you guys deal with this? how do you manage to consistently create in spite of all the silly blocks? -pete
