Motivation has to be my biggest creative challenge at the moment and many things contributing to it.
I haven’t been creating as much as I usually would; this is reflected in my Instagram feed. I’m one of those people who always say 'if I had time I would do XYZ…' and now I’m on furlough I do have the time. However, whilst writing I am also helping with an English assignment on the side, later on, it will be a different subject or multiple subjects as I have two children at home with me. My studio is less than inviting at the moment, previously I have mentioned leaking and the cold. I can wrap up in many layers but I can’t stay out there for long. I wouldn’t recommend a conservatory for a studio; it's hot or cold and plays havoc with my materials. I don’t have space in the house to move everything to a new area. Anxiety is one big cloud hanging over me at the minute too. Some days I’m happy to get in the studio and put on a podcast or some music to pass the time, the reality is that it’s hard to do that. Sometimes I think the anxiety is becoming borderline depression, on those days I tend to try and watch something on Netflix or read a book to distract myself. I used to run and do yoga which changed my mind-set; aiming to do that again is a positive step. I have many creative plans I really would like to make a dent in this year. Id be interested to hear what your creative challenges are. Stephanie Croydon ©2020
