I tidied up my website. I sorted out some of my creative accounts.
Now, I’m motivated to make something new. And yet I don’t gravitate towards the ipad.
That’s fine. Maybe I need to make a sketch. Figure out a concept first.
I open my trusty little sketchbook where I’ve already made plenty of rough sketches before.
And…nothing.
Okay, maybe I just need to build up the idea visually in my mind first.
And still, nothing.
Before I knew what I was doing, I was already on my phone. Already distracted.
Has the creativity well dried up? Or has my laziness just overtaken my prior motivation?
And then I started thinking. Creativity doesn’t have to be visual and it has to stem from somewhere.
My way of thinking…hasn’t really been creative lately.
There’s a lack of joy. A lack of spontaneity.
I’ve always been rather boring in general…but I think I have gotten complacent.
I pause. Maybe that’s what I need.
When a computer lags, sometimes it just needs a reboot.
Maybe I really do need this holiday.
