#creative slump

Non-specific Feels Rant

Do any other neurospicy/depressed artist/writer/creative types have a weird relationship with likes and empty reblogs versus comments/reblogs with tags?

Cuz idk if it's me but likes don't feel like... Anything to me. I want the comments and tags and reblogs. Likes feel hollow to me because idk what they felt when liking it. Do I continue what I made? Was this just a mindless button press? A repost for "support" or "solidarity"?

Did you genuinely like it or was it an after thought?

I know it's probably not the case and it's my mental stuff being mean but there's days where the handful of likes... Don't feel like anything except a way to placate me because no one actually cares about what I made because they don't say anything and they don't repost/reblog it to show others.

It is because of that "new Tumblr people don't know how the 'algorithm' works" problem? Or something else?

I don't know because there's no feedback.

I'd trade dozens or hundreds of likes for just one comment.

One person saying "I enjoyed this" or "wait, did [this] actually mean [this]???? What!" just I know I made something that stuck with them. That I'm not just a mindless click and someone asked from me cares about what they saw or read.

Anyway, that's my delivery of brain worms for the day. Thank you.

OOC: Writer Rambles

I'm not sure if it's been particularly obvious, but I've been in a creative slump lately. It happens to all creative folks from time to time, and I guess this is my turn.

Tips or thoughts on how you wiggle out of a creative slump are welcome! <3

Anyhow, I'm posting this here because I'm making my own attempt to kick the slump by throwing alt character creativity at it. Fantasia is in the air, yes-yes!

Ahem!

Those who knew of this Tumblr way back in its shiny new days might remember that it originally started as a multi-muse blog. The Spot of Mummery story itself has many of my OCs and adopted NPCs on the cast page, in fact!

While these characters still do pop up in my writing from time to time, they haven't been as in the forefront as they were back then. I'm hoping if I dust some of them off and bring them up to date, I might get some creativity flowing again.

Amon isn't going anywhere, don't worry! He's the glue that brings all of these other characters together. Still, I've long considered a small spin-off scenario that focuses on characters like Zuri, Koh/Noah, and Mocho, so maybe it's time to look into it.

I don't have any solid plans in mind, but I did want to share my thoughts here and gather thoughts.

Those of you who successfully juggle a whole stable of characters in a multi-muse blog, I'd love to hear your tips, too!

Thanks for coming to my reverse Ted talk (and for listening). Have a great Friday! <3

I've been stuck in such a long creative slump lately. What used to be temporary is now a constant "bad drawing day", I struggle to organize the book I'm trying to write, I've been neglecting my roleplay characters and the work on my dnd character. It's even reaching other spheres of my life with its slimy void fingers and I don't know what to do. There's no videogame I actively want to play, no tv show that I think about enough to really want to watch except out of habit, no movie I'm excited to see, no book I feel motivated enough to read. I'm stuck in a state of being that makes me sit for hours in an empty room, wanting to want to do something without being able to. If I try it feels forced. I miss being manic and being able to do stuff for once.

I know this is a normal cycle of creativity slump.

I know that having a gigantic event this week is taking a lot of thought process, leaving less for creativity.

I know that this has happened before and has always resulted in creative outpouring happening again.

I know making slow progress is still progress and that's important.

I know there's life stuff going on that's taking up a lot of time and causing emotional stuff, and it's more difficult to balance work life on top of that.

I know all of this, but I'm still worried that I'll never get my creativity back, that writing will be this painstaking forever.

I miss Eddie Munson.

I love Eddie Munson.

I want to write Eddie Munson.

But I have brain beavers that have dammed up every ounce of creativity in my body.
