You can do it!! ��
As with many things, there is this huge forest of possibility, and the moment you do any one thing, the possibilities collapse into only the chain subordinate to the choice you’ve made, and that’s so goddamn paralyzing. what if the thing i wanted winds up being on a different chain of possibilities and i don’t realize it until i’ve made too many decisions. i don’t know.
I’d brainstorm, and come up with a couple of ideas, but when you’re in a state of not being able to think of more than one thing at a time, that’s not really a possible thing to do? Brainstorming doesn’t work unless you can have multiple concepts in your head, and each successive one drives out the previous one. It’s. Weird. And if I try writing lists then I wind up hyperfocused on the chain of possibilities enumerated in the list, and then kind of– I don’t know, but I have year-old notepad documents open on my desktop that I can neither edit nor delete, so that’s kind of. Paralytic, I guess? I don’t know. (I write lists on paper but they wind up just sort of being stories about stuff I could potentially do, and have no bearing
But I was stuck for weeks in a state of wanting to make the papier-mache clay and not being able to think of anything beyond that because I hadn’t made it yet so I couldn’t move past it, so. At least I’ve done that.
There’s a tutorial for how to make some little birds, maybe I’ll just do that with zero improvisation, just to see how to make a thing.
OR MAYBE I WON’T
