There's a reason I take breaks from art.
It's not just attentionspan, it's not just that everything triggers new ideas and projects.
It's the fear of failure that paralyses me.
I sat here contemplating what skill, what hobby, I want to be better at and the answer is still all of them.
It's still I want to do it all.
-I want to excel at drawing in several styles
-I want to be a good writer
-I want to be a good photographer
-I want to make art installations (which is a new wish for me, kind of)
-I want to make cosplays that I can be proud of
-I want to make small dioramas and things for dolls
-I want to be able to paint well
-I want to be able to do graffiti well
-I want to be able to make things that are practical yet artsy
I don't know how to choose. I love all these things. I want to do them all, but I'm not Leonarda da Vinci, I've got shit to do and a family to bring up and how do I even start at one of these?

Attempt of a return
For many years now, I've struggled with a lot of things, and especially my illnesses and the lack of energy particularly. Now I'm starting to feel like maybe I get to "come back" to art, and try to be more my old self again. I hope I can.
If there are any photography or drawing-challenges that are out there right now, then maybe that could be a thing.
No idea how many of "my" folks are still left on here in any case, but hi if you are.
Consumer vs Creator
I know that it's going to take a lot of energy to create, and open myself up to things, and for now it seems like too much.
I watch series, I read more, I game more, and I look at more art - but I can't seem to break the barrier into my own creative pool for too long without being exhausted.

I know the feeling, it's been a big part of my sporadic activity & absences here on dA.
I would start with choosing which of these activities matters the most to you, pick 2 or 3 to start with, and watch videos on Youtube & read articles on websites such as eHow and WikiHow that are all about instructions for literally all kinds of activity, the articles are easily translated into Norwegian through Google Translate or Google Chrome, if that helps at all. Then as you have the time and inclinations, try some small projects of interest. If you don't do well the first time or even first few, try to see how you can do better, and if still interested in anything that didn't get taken up the first time, try researching said activities if you are in need of something to do.
