Quote from: Taffeta on June 25, 2020, 10:54:24 PMQuote from: Miniature Sheep on June 21, 2020, 12:17:59 PMThis is definitely an extremely trivial complaint of the highest order but I can't work up the motivation to work on my art at all. It's been about a month that I've been failing to get to any traction now, and it has been an immensely rough month, but I don't want that to hold me back; it hasn't held me back from doing other constructive things, but it has kind of killed off my creative drive. I've tried taking the compassionate route and just trying to do a quick sketch each day, even if I don't feel like doing it, but even that feels like too much aggro at the moment. I really want to go back and study the structural basics of drawing, then use that knowledge to develop a new art style and hopefully make something worthwhile that I could exhibit locally when things are more normal, and I know that goal isn't going to happen without a lot of work and consistent effort, but urgh, I am too all-over-the-place to focus on it at the moment. :/I can relate. Lockdown has killed my ability to work on anything academic. Creativity is limited to fanfiction at the moment, too.It's good to know that I'm not alone in this! It seems that loads of other people have been achieving all manner of things during lockdown and I was the only one who didn't have the energy of focus for it.And my complaint for today is the excessive humidity. It did rain a little bit earlier and that did take the edge off briefly, but now the sun's out again, it's gone back to being very oppressive and claggy.

Everyone is having some struggles with lockdown of some sort, I'm pretty sure - but probably want to share the positive things most so as not to bring other people down.
There's a fruit fly problem in my room. The darn things keep on flying right into my face! Why do bugs have to be so annoying in that way? Why can't they just mind their business?

If you look at my Facebook it probably looks happy but there are things I'm dealing with right now that I don't feel comfortable posting on Facebook due to having people I've met through work, extended family members etc.. on my friends list.
