Seeking inspiration is of course a valuable part of the creative process, however also a good sign to look out for to know when you just aren't ready to work on a project. The beginning of a project is great for the inspiration phase, of course you aren't ready for your own project right then and there. But if you find yourself seeking inspiration all too often, or midway through the project, or even closer to the end, then it's good to see this as a sign that you're not ready when you know full well you should be by now. If you notice yourself doing this perhaps you need to take another look at how productive you are being with the work at hand. Do you want to make a stand with your work? Do you want to make your own work for others to be inspired by? Perhaps it's time to get behind the pencil or the screen and get to work. |
