This site is driven by three things: model kit builds, photographing those model kit builds, and writing about them. At any given time, two of the three of these activities are fun and easy to do, while I have absolutely zero motivation to do the third.
Earlier this year it was the photography that was the sticking point, but lately it’s been the writing. I’ve been struggling a lot to find the energy and/or motivation to sit down and write (or edit), and now I’ve got a backlog of three finished builds (five if you count the Real Grade Gundam Wing kits from the winter) that have been sitting around, waiting for me to do something with them. I’ve been calling them my Logjam, and it’s created an increasingly heavy sense of mental pressure that’s only making the situation worse.
If you’re wondering what the problem is this time, it’s not actually anything new. I’ve suffered from long standing emotions and hangups when it comes to writing. Most of the time I’m able to suppress them and push forward, but circumstances as of late have made that harder and harder to do.
