Maybe i should quit...

What's going on team, I hope your #nodoubtmay is going as planned. I missed y'all last week! I posted in one of the social groups not to long ago and I asked how do others get over the oh so painful "creative slump" I was in the middle of creating a logo for a client and I found myself completely blank, I didn't even know where to start and it was the most frustrating thing ever. This wasn't the first time I experienced it but it was definitely the worst. It was so bad I started doubting myself like "maybe i shouldn't do this" "maybe I cant do this" I was even considering sending the deposit back to the client. Usually when this happens to me I just take a break, blast old school R&B, phone a friend and go back to my creative space but this time was different. I had to take a break but a lonnnnggggg one I even had to cry a little bit, went to youtube to learn a new design technique and 47 hours later I found myself in front of my computer (while on the clock) making it happen and teaching myself some things at the same time. It took longer than usual but once I finished the project and took a second to bask in the beauty of it, I felt AMAZING, the struggle to the finish line made the finish line 100 times more rewarding.

I said all that to say, the creative process isn't always an easy one, it aint always pretty, it doesn't always just come to you with no effort. Don't let people trick you into believing you won't struggle cause you will but once you complete the hard things you will feel so much better about your results. Remember being frustrated isn't always a bad thing, frustration just means you're passionate about your work and refuse to just put anything out there. So take on the hard things, get frustrated, learn some things in the process and never stop creating!
