Idleness

If maybe I did just something, no matter how little, to keep this thing moving forward every day, that would be better than doing nothing.

It's easy to blame my lack of enthusiasm for blogging every day on not having enough ideas, but after thinking about it more, I don't think that's really the issue.

Sure, it's tough to come up with material, and it's even tougher to force yourself to develop vague ideas into concrete posts or stories or comics, when it takes hours of concentrated effort to do so.

But I think one area that went wrong more than others was the imaginary standard I tried to keep up in terms of quality of posts and comics, which was difficult to meet without rigorous, earnest, and steadfast effort -- and when that effort is met with the same compensation as putting in almost no effort at all, it's difficult to keep up that enthusiasm for it's own sake indefinitely.
