Throwback thursday to when I was like 12 and I was putting out new writing DAILY…… Like entire Chapters of my then-current wips just, over an afternoon. What the fuck was I on
Nobody:
Me, age 12, just started drinking coffee:
I drew 14 pictures during the day, and wrote 32 pages a night. Now I can’t do shit.
A huge part of this is because you’ve gotten better! And now, when you’re drawing/writing/doing whatever creative task, you’re not just mindlessly throwing thoughts at your paper, you’re thinking as you do it. Children can churn out a lot more work because it’s not yet refined, but when you’re older and have more practice, you work with all these thoughts running through your head about form and shape, color palettes or word choice. Now, you’re making a dozen decisions with every moment of work, and you’re also questioning the decisions you’ve just made, wondering if you can do it better. Don’t beat yourself up about producing less work now than you did back then, because every sentence or shape involves a lot more effort for you now, than it did when you were ten and brand new to this hobby.
You also probably have a lot more responsibilities and stress now than you did then, and a lot more going on with your life just in general. You had a lot more time when you were younger than you do now.
