Recently I've been noticing and trying to trying to deconstruct the many layers of fear I have wrapped around vidding. ( cut for boring introspective stuff )
Oh, that's great! That it resonates with someone, I mean. As you say, it's quite a relief to have some of these feelings 'normalised' by hearing other people experience similar struggles.
And yes, exactly: I do have genuine time commitments, but I also can recognise procastination when I see it! I run my own business from home and if I wasn't good at nipping procrastination in the bud I'd be broke by now. ;) I think the only other thing I avoid to this degree is ... housework. :p With the obvious difference that I don't actually want to do it!
I so relate to the needing external factors to kick one to vid! I find vidding for other people to be a big motivator for me--especially people who don't vid themselves but have a really cool idea for a vid. And I curse deadlines terribly but they do push me constructively! I do so much ridiculous faffing around when I vid. I doubt a tenth of the time I spend 'vidding' is actually spent vidding! But with a deadline looming I don't have to rely solely on my internal state of (conflicted!) motivation.
can i reference this post as a spring-board? Oh, yes, sure! I'm delighted it's been of use to someone! (Other than me--I'm already feeling a bit clearerheaded myself!)
