I have started a million blogs, and I have failed at keeping up on 999,999 of them. I'm hoping that this one sticks, but in all likelihood, I will instead delete this after realizing, full of shame, that I haven't updated it in three months.
For me, creative self-sabotage occurs when I am struck by inspiration but immediately think of many negative things that stop me from creating.
I know what you mean about a strange year, and I've heard it from a few friends as well. I hope that whatever creative fog has descended upon us lifts in 2023!
Commitment is always the issue, isn't it? I'm struggling with it myself, especially after a strange year that absolutely sapped my creative desires. I didn't even want to read much this year--and I'm a voracious reader normally. While I don't know what you mean by creative self-sabotage, I wish you the best of luck!
I am positively terrified of this question. As a matter of fact, this exact question is why I commonly keep my writing to myself...because I don't know how to answer it.
Of course, I know what my book is about but I simply cannot distill it into a few sentences. Every time I've tried to rehearse an answer, it comes out as "It's...there's a guy...a few guys...well so there are three guys and so much swearing and they have problems," and that's really it.
I wrote the whole story, all 100K+ words of it, and I cannot sum it up into a short description.
So...that's what I'm working on today. I'm going to sit down with my book and come up with a short description and/or die trying.
