I’m feeling a little bit stuck these days. Just not feeling the creative mojo. This happens to me a lot when I finish a big project, I just have trouble getting myself kick started again.
Everything I’ve been working on for the past week has been long term works in progress. As I’m sure you can see from the sidebar, I have loads of things I’d like to do and never enough time to do them all, but none of them are really getting me motivated lately. And I always feel a little anxious when I start finishing a bunch of projects without adding new ones to the list. I have that irrational fear that all creative types get at one time or another – the well has run dry and I’ll never come up with another idea again.
I spent yesterday cleaning my studio.
I don’t know what it is about a clean desk that I find so inspiring. I just have this urge to fill this desk back up with all kinds of messy things. But I also have an urge to just sit down in my comfy chair, prop my elbows up on this nice clean desk, and dream about what’s going to come next.
I should send you a picture of my extremely cluttered workspace so you'd appreciate why I can take inspiration from vicariously putting my feet up on your clean desk. Aah.
random question, but how do you get the "works in progress" section on your page? I've been trying to add that to my blog for ages, and i can't figure out how to do it. and i love your blog by the way
I'm not tech savvy enough to give you an answer for anything but a blogger blog, but the way I do it is I added an html section in my sidebar, and then I type everything in there by hand and use image links for the progress bars. I made the progress bars with the help of Yarn Tomato here: <a href="http://www.yarntomato.com/2005/09/percent-bar-maker/#more-261http://www.yarntomato.com/2005/09/percent-bar-mak… />And then I uploaded them into a photosharing account and link to them manually.I hope that makes sense!
prefect! thanks so much!
