Ri...I say this with lots of love: <BR/><BR/>Just do one card. Right now. Form doesn't matter, content doesn't matter, nothing except ACTUALLY doing it matters. <BR/><BR/>This practice, the ongoing, daily practice of your art is something I think you need. Something to get you in the habit of art. Fuck whether it is Good or not. It just needs to be. And for it to be? Takes less time than writing a blog post. <BR/><BR/>I love you too much to enable you to "surrender." This would not be surrender, this would be quitting. (I quit my attempt at NaNo this year, I did not surrender.) Sometimes we DO have to quit things... knowing when is important! (I'm not sad I quit NaNo this year, b/c I needed to get my depression GONE and quitting let me focus on that.) <BR/><BR/>But I don't think you need to quit this project. I think it has been VERY fruitful for you!!!!!!! I think you've just hit a minor roadblock and need a little gentle coaxing... <BR/><BR/>So. Start with one sketch on whatever paper you have, with whatever pen/ pencil you have. Just GO. Doodle it, baby!alexisyaelhttp://alexisyael.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.com
