Sometimes I don't get myself.
I don't see why I'm far from sleeping when there's nothing to do when I'm online.

I don't see how I'm going to succeed as a graphic designer/artist when everything I make is hit or miss-- there's nothing in between. I don't draw in my sketchbook; I don't even sketch. I make it, or I don't. And more often than not, I don't. The things I do make, are pretty good (if I say so myself). I know there's always room for improvement, for getting better at what I do. Except, practice doesn't make perfect for me. Well, I don't really actually practice, either. Maybe that's my problem. I just make things, I don't try, I don't experiment. All my artwork is what it is, it was a first attempt, no mess-ups, no screwed-up-start-overs.
I don't see how I've gone this long doing art the way I do, because it definitely will not be that way in art school/college. I'm trying to practice, draw in my sketchbook (after I found and got the dust off of it), but there's just no creativity. That's another factor that's seriously important in what I do-- I never had inspiration, and what if I never get any inspiration anymore? I thrive on that; I need it like I need air.

Haha, more ramblings. Maybe I'll continue this another time.

bah. you always pull off amazing things at the last minute. its only the first few days where you think you won't be able to come up with anything. haha. if you have a project that you you have no ideas for, I'll fly up there and we'll throw paint on a wall or something, ;]

I think you need to find out WHY you create.
What is driving you?
Sometimes an artist has to get their priorities straight.
I create on the stage and I know that is loads different, but I find that when I am truly working for me, it's the best.
Are you trying to prove something?
do you want to be the best out of spite?
Is it because it's what you've always done?
These things get in the way.
When you clear your mind and your heart, the muse comes.
That's why creative souls function at last minute. all the pressure makes us simply us.

I can totally understand this. When you draw something, rarely do you want to draw the same picture over and over again, just to improve it. So, you could see the flaws in your picture, but not want to redraw the whole thing.

Or maybe, you could do a similar drawing to the first, and correct mistakes that you made in the first one? I don't know.
