I'm a great one for dipping my toe in, making a tiny bit of an effort, and then flailing about in despair because "It's not working!" I do a few drawings, and expect an immediate reaction. I don't get it, and so I stop. Maybe try something else.
And then I'm always surprised when something does start working. There are a few things I doggedly stick with, even though there's no evidence they're good ideas - or little evidence beyond my own convictions. I'm not even sure why I'm carrying on - no better ideas, usually. And then these things get noticed, pretty much at the point when I'm so over them I'm embarrassed that I'm still doing them.
Things take a lot longer than you think they will. Particularly if you keep stopping.

All I can politely ask is that you please get out of my head because that is exactly what goes on in there !! ;)
Great post Jesse, off to check out the link and related article ..
I am so glad that I am not alone!
Such a great post by Pikaland! One just has to get in there and do the hard yards hey! :)
I so get this post Jesse! Tks for the link.
I feel the same! And when I need to take a big step (like calling an art director, for instance), I procrastinate and procrastinate.
(am working on that one)
Hugs!
Ah yes! I know what you're talking about. I should know myself better by now but I keep on falling into the same trap! Thanks for sharing and love from Germany
Also really relating to this!
Thanks for the shout out Jesse! I'm guilty of that too sometimes – so you're definitely not alone. :)
Ugghhh… I can so relate to this. I tend to get very insecure if I put something out there and nothing happens immediately. I could have great plans for a line of some product of some sort, but if the initual test items don't catch on, I get scared and pull back. Which, you're right, is probably counterproductive.
