Sketchbook Update(ish) #2

Oh, how I am the silly little monkey.

This is why I took on this sketchbook project - to follow through on something.  To FINISH something.  I have worked on it, I swear.  Just not that much...

But I'd like to say that I have been working on art projects.  I just can't say too much about them, because they are meant to be gifts for Christmas.  That's positive.

It's always little lazy excuses for not updating you on my sketchbook project.  The sheepish excuse I'm using right now:  "I need to use my real camera instead of the camera on my phone to take a picture of the book, and that means I have to find my usb cord, upload the photos onto my computer, sift through the photos that are already on there (which means I'm going to get distracted) and then I can post a photo onto my blog...but it's already dark, and I'm not going to get a good shot with this lighting."

Is this normal???

Do other people make these lame excuses to not do SIMPLE tasks?

It's like a Lego has been placed in front of me, and I think, "Holy crap look at that wall!  I'm never going to be able to climb over that!  I may as well sit down and have some tea."  And I do.  Sit.  But without the tea, because that's all the way in the kitchen, and I have to heat up the water...

What is wrong with me?

There are so many days that I just sit and stop.  Stop working, stop moving, everything...stops.  Except for my mind.  And my self criticism. 

Maybe I should see a shrink...
