Ever since I made this post, I have tried my best to follow through and "be the change you want to see." I've made a lot of mediocre stuff, some bad, and a few I am proud of in those 6 months. I have spent most of my free time trying to make new OC specific to Lemmy.

However, I think that with the attempts to try to encourage others in this kind of creative endeavor, I have run out of steam. I will often sit down with a plan for a project, half finish it and then just delete it.

I am a musician and have never experienced creative burnout there, despite having done that for most of my life so this is a new feeling to me. I picked up a new creative hobby and I feel burned out in less than a year.

If anyone can offer some advice here, I would greatly appreciate it.

Creative burnout = "I'm turning the thing I like into a chore I loathe."

Stop. Take a break. Creativity doesn't flourish when worked.
