Confession time-

I am writing this as a cry for help.

I have hit a wall.

Not just any wall, but the same wall I've hit anytime time I've really pursued something.

I've done a lot of things in my life, gone down many avenues, as it were. And I always run into the same issue.

I've been a chef, a musician, a writer. Now I'm going after something I've always wanted but also always been afraid of: movies. Making movies, that is.

In all my previous ventures, in the beginning, my creativity out reaches my skills.

Then there comes a moment, after all the practice, all the work and critiques, all the money invested into resources to make my creations come to life...

My creativity is gone.

I don't know where it went.

Maybe it became lost in all the DIY or BTS videos. Or all the books I've read. Or maybe even in the mundane projects i forced myself to do for the "experience"?

I don't know where or why or how, but I've lost my mojo.

Perhaps I never really had it to begin with...

The point is, I've reached this point in my movie making.

I am, at best, mediocre. And this bugs my to all levels of hell.

I feel like the guy addressed in this quote-






So to all you: artists, musicians, photographers, painters, sculptors, poets, writers, craftsmen, etc-

What inspires you? What makes you see things differently? What makes you say, "Today I should make this, paint that, sing these words"?

And when inspiration comes, what do I do with it???
