blank

I've been feeling a bit blah lately, finding it hard to rustle up inspiration and motivation. Hence, it's been a bit quiet here, despite my determination to post more.

You'd think that there was nothing scary about a blank piece of paper, because really, the worst it can do is give you a paper-cut, right? But when you're lacking in inspiration, it's a scary thing indeed. Much like any idea that's waiting to be made real, it just sits there and... expects things from you. And you know you can do it, it's just so very hard to get things done when you're feeling blank and blah and you end up sort of paralysed by it all. I love making plushies, but getting to the actual making bit is sometimes overwhelmingly hard.

There are times I wish that there was a pill that would give you limitless motivation and fire up your inspiration!

Hi Eerika! I went thru a period like that last year. I know exactly what you mean. Reading a new book on inspiration may help. There's one TED video that you should listen to. It's only 20 min but really worth the time. It's Elizabeth Gilbert on Nurturing Creativity - the link here: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/elizabeth_gilbert_on_genius.html
