This is something I want to share because I feel like maybe if I open up and admit it then it will help me work past it, tends to be the case.Â
Most of my followers should know this but for anyone who doesn’t, I have a webcomic series here http://tlhcomic.thecomicseries.com/ that I’ve been doing one and off for the past 10 years. The series is wrapping up, currently on the last chapter, and I haven’t been able to make a new page in over a month.
I can’t find the energy to work on it, all inspiration has left me and that alone is a pain in the ass. To make it worse, I WANT to draw. I want to draw badly, but the point of this post comes from the guilt I feel if I work on anything that ISN’T the comic, especially when I haven’t put out a new page in awhile.Â
I feel like if I have the time and energy to draw then that time and energy should be put towards the comic, but I don’t have the right mindset to work on the comic right now which is its own issue, so I can’t work on the comic so I can’t draw anything else because if I draw anything else then I feel guilty as shit for not working on the comic which just makes me depressed and makes it even harder to get into the right mindset to work on the comic in the first place.
On top of that goes the guilt for not having a new page in over a month, which is just not cool at all.
I’m really dropping the ball on this last chapter and I’m really sorry to anyone who read the series.Â
Also please don’t tell me I should just draw what i want, draw for myself, draw what makes me happy, or relax and don’t stress. I know. I know all of that. My brain doesn’t listen to me when I say it, it won’t listen to you either. <3
