well, after spending 3 months on and off working on a watercolor painting, I finally wrecked it and had to tear it up. I don't keep botched works, they only depress me and make me feel inferior.
That's fine, I'm taking a break from creating art, I'm too liable to make mistakes the way I feel right now anyway.
I've been writing short stories instead. Beginning them anyway. It gets tough when I get to the editing part.
