Would like to write about what currently plagues me. Art blocks. Time. It takes time, to write stories. It also takes time, to learn. If I practiced, no doubt, I could learn my way around drawing. If I practiced, I could learn my way around 3d based digital content. But. I'm only one person. I can't do all three of those. Self teaching oneself anything takes time. Months. Years. The more I focus on one area, the more I lose sight of another. In some attempt to streamline things, I'm trying to merge my writing, and my 3d aspects together. But, as always, the problem is time. I can write quickly. And as such, when I have an idea? I need to write it down and finish a story before I quickly jump and latch on to another. I am constantly creating things. It never stops. And, introducing me to more avenues of approach only multiplies this. It's the most antagonizing feeling to me that I can ever know. I could stamp my feet on the ground and raise my voice. Could take flimsy objects and rip them apart in my irritation and bristling spite. I could sit down, stare at all of it, and never make a move because I don't know where to begin. My stories, backlogs, piling up in my head. Mad scrambles of jot notes so that I don't forget them because my memory is shifty right now. Pictures, things I could make, that I know I could make and create, if I put the effort in. And of course, the ultimate factor that one struggles against every waking hour. Time. So much to do. So little time.

    I understand this. And this... Feeling I live in constantly. Just yesterday I was starting a remix track of Daft Punk's "Digital Love," and before that I was drawing up an animation of a robot eating the moon on my computer. Now, it might sound like I'm bragging about my artistic versatility, but it's hard to call yourself an artist when all your creations look or sound like shit. I wish I had the time or, better, the motivation to focus on one of these crafts, but alas, I am distracted. Distracted by everything. TVs, computers, animals, people, dark thoughts.. Even a shoelace will keep me occupied for a good thirty minutes. I don't know why I'm writing this; all I know is that I have to write this before I'm distracted again and fall down into the sky of my mind, clouded with the complacency of conceptual paralysis (i.e. Stuck in a fantasy). I wish I could string these words and thoughts into a cohesive idea, but the only coherency-- no, clarity I've had in years is to not give up just yet, and keep doing what I'm doing like there's nothing better to do. Just two words.. "burn bright." TL;DR-- I empathize with you and this feeling.
