whatever you do on summer nights do not think about how everything is fleeting

there should be at least 6 hours between 3 and 4am

You actually cannot skip to being good at a creative endeavour that you haven't put much practice into. You cannot trick your way out of the 'knows that your work is not what you want it to be but don't know how to improve it' stage by planning or reading or talking about it really really hard. At some point you just have to craft through it until your brain finds it's own unique way back to the 'everything I make slaps' stage and be prepared to start the cycle all over again. You just have to make that project you're excited about slightly less good than you want it to be. (Says this standing in a pool of blood and covered in blood and also coughing up a little blood)

everyone stop reblogging this I hate to be reminded of my own good advice

Bob Ross once said "talent is just applied interest". everyone you think is "naturally gifted" in fact put in the exact same amount of practice at their shit as you, they just happened to think practicing was fun so they didn't mind doing it more often
