Try sitting down and actually focusing on the task at hand instead of dreaming about pixies and unicorns all day. Seriously, if you are in that tiny bracket of people who actually make a living off just your art and creativity then you already won. Don't use it as an excuse to be lazy, because there are a ton of people out there actually working hard who don't always feel 'inspired' but have to find ways of working through it. Sometimes you have to force creativity and push yourself to actually get 'inspired' rather than sit around in fantasy land waiting for the muse to visit.
If you have creative blocks and find a way to work through them, while dealing with everything else life throws at you, then I salute you. If you are someone that habitually uses inspiration as an excuse not to complete, then just make sure you don't take on projects where people are depending on you.
OK, rant over. If I didn't say that here, I would've said it somewhere that would've likely cause a ton of hassle for me.  |
That's why we're here, Straker. Vent away
