Dear Kaylen:

I would like to return to your thread tomorrow morning when I am more focused. Having read your above post, is it that you start a creative project with enthusiasm and creativity, but as time goes on, your fear goes up and your creativity goes down?

This has been the case with me, I started many short stories and plays and didn’t finish a single one. I got scared, fear wore me down. Fear does that, it takes away our focus, our clarity of thinking, and our creativity.

I hope to read from you when I am back to the computer, in about 13 hours from now. I hope other members answer you as well.

Hello Kaylen,

It is amazing you are willing to learn different things! I am the same way, I am learning how to dance and play the guitar now that the semester is over. I also want to get back to oil painting and writing blogs again. Do you feel that you are trying it all at once? Sometimes, when I do that, I don’t get anything done. Other times, I just force myself to push through the periods of uncreativity and still try to do something. When it comes to finishing, I feel that it is never really done because you can always change something to make your work better. Sometimes, I just go with the flow and do the best I can do and simply trust that ending is good. This takes off the pressure to have the perfect one. I hope that this was helpful! Let me know what you think.
