Short-term burnout
Dec. 28th, 2004 01:12 pmOkay, I know, this is generally not an angsty blog. I try to be chipper. I try to be productive without succumbing to exaggerated expectations. I just can't seem to do it this week.
Dunno why. I had a silly idea that would have produced a good setting for a couple of stories, but I can't seem to wrap my head around anything coherent. (Learned an awful lot about the construction, maintenence, and general utility of gondolas, though. Don't ask.) I can't seem to visualize anything that I want to draw, either. I hacked on a couple of programs that make parts of my life easier, and I've been getting better about my projects and tasks daily and weekly reviews.
I've been here before. And I'll get out of it again. It's just the sum total stresses of life. I'll recover eventually. In the meantime, I apologize for the, um, down time.

Date: 2004-12-28 11:30 pm (UTC)I've got a story deadline on Friday and I just can't get into the mood to finish writing it. Last few edits have been reducing the word count, as I simplify phrases, so it seems like I've been going backwards a bit even though its probably better for it.
And it's so easy to blob and watch anime or read LJ instead,
I won't even mention all the physical labour stuff I should be doing round the house that isn't getting anywhere either...
