Annoyed (whine)

  • Jun. 24th, 2009 at 9:08 AM

I have been frantically working  at creative stuff up until coronation. Which I didn't attend. The presents were well received. Now, I am empty. I don't know why I am so up and downish. I am running after the rush of good work, often the result is less than what I had imagined even more dispappointed than before. 

An Idea is like a fire. and it burns and consumes whatever energy I have been able to save from my every day life, which some days feels like such a drain. I know I should get moving, clean up the house, do laundry or at least write. I am healthy, no headaches prevent me from getting up. but the idea of it is already such a drain. I know that feeling. I have only recently stopped taking my anti depressents. I get a lot more creative energy since then. And I am feeling fine most of the time. I just also feel exhausted most of the time. 

I do have time for myself, I am merely wasting it. And I know it. Maybe I am just a lazy prick. then again I need to check in with my doctor tomorrow or on friday getting some blood work done, since there is the possibility that I am suffering from Hashimoto which is an auto immune disease attacing the thyroid (if I understood it correctly), which could also have an effect on my energy swings. then again, I also just switched contraceptives, which resulted in me having a life again during my *special* days, but hormoen level changes can also do a lot to your system. and it might just be the regular Period up and downs somehow interacting.

what ever it is... I am annoyed. Mostly at myself.

I've done a little research on how creativity works.
It's a cycle. There is a period of plans, there is a period of putting the plans into action (the rush of good work you mentioned). Then after the rush of activity is completed, there is a period of "rest". It seems like nothing is getting done during the rest time, but in reality we are preparing for the next round of ideas & work. Your subconscious is taking in everything around it. Often creative people get frightened and think they will never do anything again, but the rest is an important part of the creative cycle and it is important not to be harsh on yourself during this time.

They suggest this is the time to look at other people's work, go to art galleries, listen to good music, look at books, enjoy nature and trust that the cycle will begin again.

Thank you. I am kind of doin that just feeling incredibly lazy while I am doing it. NOw the kiddo is sick again, thus rest is suddenly no longer all that much of an issue. You are one of the plans, You are one of three people I still need to do something crafty for... So far I am not pleased with my ideas...they are way to generic for such an original artist like you. Sigh. I know, though, I will come up with something eventually.

Please don't worry about trying to please me. Do what you enjoy doing that is what I enjoy having.
