This week was mainly building one video and avoiding doing what I'm supposed to be doing, namely working on SHIPtember. My build is not going well which shouldn't really be a surprise except that at this point last year I was already done. I didn't really have much going on then which isn't true today but I don't think I've even hit the 1/4 mark with this build yet. That's a little concerning. To make matters worse, I know I'm missing some parts but don't want to put in a pile of orders right before brickcon. It's looking a lot like I'm not going to finish for the show and that sucks.
I'm at that scary part where I don't really want to continue building. This happens on every big build and on every big multi-day project. I get it most weeks for videos especially if the scripting isn't going well. It's now happened so often that I expect it and have powered through it in the vast majority of cases, usually to good result. This time feels different and I don't know if it's because so much creative energy is going into videos or what, but I really, really want to stop. I'ma build like crazy today and see how I feel this time next week. I don't like quitting on creative endeavors but something doesn't feel right and I don't like it.
