I haven't posted in a really long time. Life got way crazy for a while and I started pushing everything I really enjoyed to the side because I couldn't handle trying to juggle so many different things. I don't suggest doing that, because now I feel like I've lost my inspiration for making art and I'm really struggling trying to break through the writer's block that is keeping me from writing even a word. I feel stagnant when it comes to my artistic side. I think partly it's the art classes that I'm taking that are affecting my inspiration also. My teachers force me to make pictures, be they graphics, drawings, or paintings, the way they want me to, and then they judge everything I do with harsh eyes and that just kills any enjoyment I could have in doing the project. It makes me not want to even Think about making a new picture and my creative writing teacher just killed all my inspiration for writing by putting all these rules on how it should be done and by trying to tell me what he thought I should be trying to write about. Pissed me off, but I can't seem to get back to where I was. They clogged up my brain with all this crap and now i'm blocked. I wrote better before the class and had ideas for new stories at least once a week. Now it's like this pressure in my skull when I think about writing. It's really frustrating. Sometimes it's better to just leave good enough alone.
