Sitting outside today with my husband, drinking our respective hot cups of tea and coffee, and watching the rain fall, we got onto the subject of unstarted projects being akin to Schroedinger’s cat. If we don’t start the painting we have an idea for, or writing that book that’s been floating around our head, then we can live in hope that it will turn out perfectly, that our vision will be realised exactly as it is in our heads. That we will be successful.

I don’t know if it’s a form of imposter syndrome, a form of procrastination, or just low self esteem, and therefore, I’m not quite sure how to fix it.

I don’t even know if anyone else experiences Schroedinger’s creation syndrome (don’t come after me for making that term up), or if it’s just me.

I do know most of the suggestions will be to JUST WRITE! And I understand that. But when it’s not fear of the blank page that grips you, but fear of a finished project not meeting your internal vision of them, that’s something that JUST WRITE, won’t conquer.

If you also suffer from Schroedinger’s creative syndrome, how do you deal with it?

And, can we start a group please?

Anyway, stay safe and have fun
