Well can I just tell you?...In my family of origin we have some DNA issues...kind of an "all or nothing" mentality as we strive for excellence. Like many creative people, I am a darn perfectionist, maybe even bordering on going to Camp OCD! So it takes me longer than many people to put a piece of work to bed.
Even though these posts may be simplistic in nature they did need to be polished. But it is a serious fact that I am working to overcome my tendency to procrastinate on finishing projects.
I think my issues with both perfectionism and procrastination are born out of pride. Internally I have a notion that what we share is part of our identity, personality and maybe future legacy. Well that can make one feel...well...pretty exposed!
Personally, I have come to realize I am not necessarily comfortable sharing the painstaking process that comes with working and waiting on the creative flow. I used to think that my issues were just perfectionism and procrastination but I am also seeing my pride is a big stumbling block as well.
