Blogging isn't my thing but it would be nice to do something that's similar to a diary online that other people can see and be updated by even if people don't have me friended on here.
Recently I've been watching a lot of the Trash Taste Podcast. In their 19th episode (I believe) they discuss how youtube burnout is very real. The best case scenario of moving on from the burnout is to be on top of the game and have a huge backlog of videos that can be released at any time so that they can relax. This may have only been intended to apply to youtuber careers but it applies to my mindset for keeping in pace with my art social media. I don't have to be posting things the moment I finish the pieces. They can be left on the backburner to post at later dates. It then creates this constant influx of art and it is almost as if it doesn't slow down, when in fact, I draw a bunch every 2-3 days.
Struggling with keeping on track with my commissions is terribly difficult. I've been left to assume I suffer from dealing with ADHD or some form of autism. The need to stay around those that are productive is my best option but comes few and far in-between. Distractions come easily— video games, other artwork ideas, friends, chores, etc. My desire for a patreon/freelancing career is seemingly difficult with these mental obstacles. Intimidation on being independent, is the best way to describe it. Hopefully I can look more into this chaos and become level-headed about it.

This post is everything and more. I can't begin too explain how difficult it has been to continue my webcomic (in which has been in the works for 6 years) and world building because of my undiagnosed autism and adhd I feel absolutely insane not going too anyone and still trying to get everything done. I always end up on the bed or scrolling I really need to quit. I finally have my animation set up and no excuses (¤﹏¤) Procrastination is my middle name.
I feel it. It's progressively gotten better for me over the years but it still is a struggle. Webcomics have been on my mind but I don't have a single thing fleshed out. They sound crazy tough to work on.
