Reigniting my creative spark
There must be something about school that encourages creative procrastination for me. Since May of 2020, I haven’t drawn or written much. Life just didn’t seem to provide the opportunities for either, and I couldn’t seem to find inspiration anywhere.
Lately, though, I’ve been inspired to create new content via comics, and now I’m back on Medium!
And it’s coinciding with the time I’ve started grad school! So I don’t know if it’s increased stress and the need to procrastinate making a comeback in my life, but I’m going back to a lot of my old hobbies. I’ve even thought about returning to knitting, which used to bring me so much joy as well.
I’m just dumbfounded by the number of ideas coming through my brain as my schedule fills up and I become busier and busier.
I hope this lasts a while. It’s so fun to produce things again! Especially things that bring joy to both myself and other people!
Most of the writing I’ve been doing is keeping a daily journal, writing notes to friends and coworkers, and writing Google reviews, LOL. I’m building quite a following on Google Maps, though! I’m proud to say I’m a Level 5 Local Guide.
Here’s to the days ahead, hopefully filled with more art and writing.
