Description ...But not done yet!

For the past few weeks, I've been seriously lacking motivation to make anything. It feels like I have to force myself to be creative if I'm ever making something for DeviantArt, and It's not supposed to be that way. When I make art, I have the intention of making it for others to enjoy, and there's nothing wrong with that. But before, I made things because I had fun with it. It's not that I don't have any fun now, It's still my favorite thing. I just wish it didn't feel like so much of a struggle.

I wish I wasn't as afraid to post things I do enjoy as well. I want to post more things of my OC's and new ideas that I have. I just don't know if I'll get a reaction out of any of it. There's something in my mind that always has me thinking if I'll ever be noticed or if what I'm doing is really the best for my future. Why bother doing things if you'll never be recognized for the word I do?

I come to this site with the intents to post the best art I make. I've made it a goal not to even post that many scrap pieces or doodles. I only want my full effort in my gallery. I only want the best, because I've started comparing myself to people who are far more popular and successful than I am, and I guess It's putting me down a bit. I want to see myself become someone other people can admire too. And looking at my old work, up until now, I can see the improvement. And putting work that I'm proud of on here, let's me see the progression, so why do I feel this way?

I don't have many Watchers, but I'm grateful for the people I do have. More than you know. A little support is all I really need to keep me going. I might be a bit slow with posting now, but I know I'll get over it. I'll enjoy posting things again, and I'll do it with the means of making myself and others happy. If I have to force my way out of this habit, I'll do it without hesitation. I don't think I'd ever give up on something that'd cost me my dream.

Wow. This was way too long. Sorry about that.

Then post it, post what you want.. what others think of you is none of your business.. If you post stuff you like there's bound to be someone who likes it too out there ^^ (maybe they just haven't discovered it yet)
You can also post to scraps if you don't want it in your main gallery ovo

You're absolutely right. I just didn't have the right mindset at the time. Thank you.
Also I almost forgot that scraps even existed. Whoops. ^v^;
