The Process Forum - View Single Post - Process, how do you deal with a lack of Motivation?

This has been a long time coming, since I've been visiting this site on and off for about 3 years now. I always thought that by now, at this point in time I'd have long made an impact in this community with my efforts. Maybe not a huge one, or even one notable but, at the very least I wanted to get my ideas out there and contribute something of worth to artists, writers and fetishist. Regardless of how it was received, if at all, even having tried and done so would've been good enough for me.

But throughout the years I find myself continually suffering from ennui and dryspells. It never feels like a lack of inspiration or creativity so much as a lack of will to implement it. I'll get ahead of myself with hefty ideas and stories, carried away with projects I know I cannot finish, only to plop out if I can even begin. I'll say it's time to finally teach myself to draw properly every week or another, only to barely make any progress (That's been ongoing for roughly a decade now, it's tiring). It never ends up happening, atleast not without finding myself quitting generally as soon as I start. The fatigue drags on, and it never seems to wear down.

How do you deal with what seems like neverending droughts of motivation sucking at your muses?
