I am really terrible at this. Even with the concerted effort of setting an alarm for the same time every morning I fail to get up, sometimes sleeping through the alarm altogether. I haven’t had a daily teatime or regular homework hours or anything of the organized and scheduled nature (aside from classes, but I even had a problem with that this week; I was late to curiousness for the first time ever on Thursday). I have been doing things but not in a ‘this time is set aside for this’ way. The further into the semester I get, the more I struggle to find structure in my day to day routines. I ignore assignments, putting them off and letting them pile up until I get so worked up over how much I have to do that I can’t get anything done so I give up. It’s a terrible vicious cycle. It leads to anxiety, fatigue, depression, insomnia and loss of motivation. I need to drag myself out of this rut and onto a path of productiveness. The first step in that direction is getting back on track with these posts. I’m behind but I KNOW I can catch up. I sometimes look at classmates blogs but I’m simultaneously fascinated and disheartened by everyone else’s cool ideas. I know this is bad, I shouldn’t compare my work or ideas to anyone else’s, comparison is the enemy of creativity.
I’ll do something with that. I’ll call it “enemies”.
A fleet of 2014 VW cars are spread across a big open field in a military-esque formation. Across the field is a mishmash of old fashioned, out of date junkers (Maybe even a hint at this being part of a humans vs zombies theme by playing up with headlights missing, cracked windshields, rusted out bumpers, etc?) They could have epic battles of chicken and races and the shiny new cars would obviously win, and drive circles around the junkers.
I’m hopeless with photoshop so I just drew it. It’s been a while since I did something with colored pencils so it’s eh. Also, I have childish handwriting.
I can’t help but feel like this is cliche. Blah.

Elizabeth,
First of all, let me be the first to say that nothing about your post is “blah.” Your ideas are rich, your narrative genuine and honest, and your drawing skills MUCH better than mine! You do not have to be the best at everything. This is something that I struggle with as well. I tend to compare my posts to others’ and sometimes gets discouraged. But what you have to keep in mind is that not everyone has the same talents. Where one lacks in illustration or design, one can make up for it in writing or photography or some other art form. Creativity is endless. Everyone possesses it. You just need to find it. Find what inspires you.
Your picture and the idea behind it are great. I love how you even went as far as throwing around the possibility of the stand off being similar to humans vs. zombies. You could make another post out of that! “Convention is the enemy of innovation” is a great tagline. Maybe explore your talents in this direction at some point.
Don’t get discouraged. Not everyone works at the same pace; we all have out ups and downs, BELIEVE ME. Keep up the good work, and continue to search for your inner creative self and what inspires you. GREAT WORK.
