I think I constantly find myself falling into this trap. It’s a subtle trap that robs me of any creativity, ambushes my work and causes me to avoid my art desk for days at a time.
Some trap.
I get caught up in whether I should create because I enjoy the creative process or because I desire to sell my work. I think from now on, I am not going to pursue selling any work at all. This will give me room to continue to play with the creative elements and not worry about if it will sell or not.
In fact, I think I am going to draw up a contract to that effect with myself. Something that says:
Create for the sake of creating.
Okay… it just looks like a tiny quote but there’s a big truth there. Somewhere.
