Help?

Sat Oct 17, 2009, 2:10 PM
Sup guys. I've been lettin my will to work on drawings and stories go. Between looking for jobs and having computer issues, productivity has been going slow. Other than that, I just have problems getting motivated to do anything.

Anyone else have that problem? If so, how do you actually get motivated to do what you have to do? I'm really bad with my writing; I'll come up with a story idea and let it brew for a week or two, write down details and flesh it out and everything and then... never write it. The most I get is a few paragraphs and it's just... gone. I get so frustrated with myself too. Was just wondering if anyone else out there had that same problem and what ya'll do to fix it.

I'm willing to try anything at this point haha.

I have that problem quite often. I find that encouragement from those who like your work can help. Also, music can get one in the mood for their drawings. If it's a story you get stuck on, read something else you wrote or something someone else wrote that is similar to what you wanna write. Video Games help me sometimes. They get my mind off my art then when I'm done the game I can jump back into whatever I was doing.

Hope this helps..

Oh, that happens to me all the time! Unfortunately, as far as I know, there doesn't seem to be a miracle cure around for that, but normally when I get a block, I'll try something new. Like maybe you might explore a different genre, or different medium of art :)

Also, try to find inspiration in anything and everything - a movie, a picture, something you saw while on the bus home. Often, the smallest thing can surprisingly motivate you again. Some of the most recent things that have inspired me have been a couple arguing, a mother telling her child off and things like that. I've also found that people complimenting your work can be one of the best boosts to my drive to continue.

It's never easy once you lose steam, but hang in there and I'm sure you'll find your muse soon enough. Oh, and if it's any consolation, I'm sure you have a lot of fans (such as myself!) who are waiting patiently for your next creation :D

Best of luck!

Welcome to the club, would you like a free t-shirt. J/k j/k. Seriously though, I'm going through the same dry spell myself. Even if I did post something the other day. Shit I have 2 fanfics and a oneshot that are waiting to be finished. Bouncing ideas off of friends can get the ideas flowing; though I never can seem to find a person who's competent enough to do this with. (Yeah, it is pretty sad that I can't find someone who knows how to basically tell me the first thing that pops into their head.) Really, talking to someone who shares interests is the best bet, two heads are better then one.

If I have days where inspiration doesn't come at all, I normally browse through magazines or my manga. Eventually something happens. I also watch music videos, listen to music, maybe even just random doodles without erasing. I also will nap, or talk to my friends. They give me ideas. I hope you come up with some soon^^

:iconnahceid:
lol, when I say I'm bad about starting stories and never finishing them, I'm not kidding. I counted all the vore/inflation/mpreg stories in progress I have in a seperate folder, and the count is 25. And that's just all my special interest stories. D:

Yeah, I'm bouncing ideas off a friend now. It seems to be working.

theres a saying "if your muse doesnt show up, start without them" i have little clue what it means but whenever i get stuck in such a rut i listen to music as well as other things to pass the time
if you dig around you can find the motivation, they're there you just gotta dig'm out
i mostly end up creating my works thru my dreams and my ever falling sanity not sure that it might help ya but works for me and i hope itll end up working for you too

Hehe. My writing's not the best in the world, but it's entertaining I think. Twenty five stories for posting when I can kick my ass into gear~ Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) 97% of those stories are KH related. Shame on me.
