Getting back into a Groove

One of the things I have learned about myself in the last few years of trying to draw regularly is this:

I get so frustrated when I have lost "the groove" of production and progress.

No matter what the reason for loosing it, I always have a hard time getting it back. Does anyone else have this issue? Currently I am in working toward getting my groove back... yet again. It would be interesting to track how often I "loose my groove" and how quickly (or not) I get it back.

Recently I posted about how the start of the new year has been overwhelming, frustrating and encouraging all at the same time. Not too much as changed since then, but the good news is that I have been able to make some progress on 2 of my commissions that are due soon. I also have a huge support system of family, friends and fellow artists that are always encouraging me to keep working hard and not to give up.

Eventually I will get my groove back. I always do. Not sure how long I will be able to keep it, but when I'm in it, I am there! Oh Yeah!



*I love Emperor's New Groove! It is one of my favorite Disney movies. Kuzco embodied how I have been feeling lately, so I had to include him in my post today.
