Fear or Laziness?

January 11th, 2010

“I don’t feel like it.”
“It’s not going to turn out right.”

The things that run through my mind when thinking about being creative. How do I get past these? I know that once I just start doing it that I’ll finish it, and about 8 times out of ten I will even like it. So what is this negative force that stops me?

This predicament reminds me of a scene from Waking Life (awesome flick btw).

These aren’t just my problems. It holds us all back.

Ideas.

Maybe if I set some time aside specifically for painting, drawing, writing, coding, whatever it may be. If I could get into a routine. If I had someone to compete with. Someone to push me. Maybe I should just stop being a pussy about it and just get some shit done. I feel like I’ve said and tried all of this before.

Doing.

I do get a lot done at work. I’m one of the lucky suckers. Working all day doing something I actually enjoy. I’ve got to admit, it is nice!

I’ve also started an iPhone wallpaper project. I’ll be using another domain I own (flyingnowhere.com) to display them and give them away. I’ll post about it when it’s up and live.

In a way I suppose I do get a lot done. I just wish I did more. We’ll see how the future goes!
