Ever since I made this post, I have tried my best to follow through and “be the change you want to see.” I’ve made a lot of mediocre stuff, some bad, and a few I am proud of in those 6 months. I have spent most of my free time trying to make new OC specific to Lemmy.
However, I think that with the attempts to try to encourage others in this kind of creative endeavor, I have run out of steam. I will often sit down with a plan for a project, half finish it and then just delete it.
I am a musician and have never experienced creative burnout there, despite having done that for most of my life so this is a new feeling to me. I picked up a new creative hobby and I feel burned out in less than a year.
If anyone can offer some advice here, I would greatly appreciate it.
As others have said, you need to take a step back, and find some rest
I’ll also add a thought : creativity comes from your lived experiences, the more you discover new ideas, exchange with new people, understand new cultures, the more matter you’ll have at your disposal to pick from when looking for creative solutions to whatever you’re working on. Go on holidays, visit a museum, buy a concert ticket, the more you put yourself out there to be available for new experiences, the more creative you’ll be.
