WIPs- Works In Pieces

₊˚ ✧ ━━━━⊱Let's Talk W.I.Ps!⊰━━━━ ✧ ₊˚

Most any person on the internet who is creative in some facet has heard the term 'WIPs', meaning work(s) in progress. For me, it means I have yet another project I'm going to start and never finish. As someone with a never ending list of hobbies, I also have a never ending list of projects that I bounce between before eventually giving up and shoving them where I'll eventually forget about their existence. I just have so many ideas and there is only so much time in the day! I feel like if I don't start the project immediately, then I'll lose what motivation and inspiration that I had in the moment, lost to the endless void that is my hole filled memory. Sometimes, I'll manage to write it down only for it to end up just another scribbled sticky note in the sea of them stuck about the length of my desk!

Don't get me wrong, I love the creative parts of me that are cranking out new ideas left and right, but the downside of having so many ideas and projects is that I just get overwhelmed at the prospect of working on any of them. It all just feels like it is too much, scrambling my brain whenever I try and think of a plan of action for my works. 

My personal goal for myself is to force myself to finish a project at any means necessary. I won't allow myself to start anything else in that hobby before I finish my original project, same goes for buying anything to do with said hobby. As much as it pains me, I have to stop myself from snatching up whatever yarn I happen to fall in love with when I wander in to a Michael's (hobby lobby will sooner see me dead before they see my money). This will, hopefully, reduce some of that overwhelming feeling I get when faced with my hobbies.
