Cosplay Plans: Update
Hey y’all! You know how I made a list of cosplay plans. I’m trashing that list!
I’m too easily distracted and I change my mind way too often! One minute I wanna do a certain cosplay. Than other things come up and inspire a different cosplay. I’m not saying I’ve started sewing a costume and lost interest. I’m just trying to figure out what my next cosplay project is gonna be. And I’m not really wanting to do one of the cosplays on my list I wrote last year. Once Clara is complete (when my prop is done) my full focus will be on my next project. But I’m not sure what I’d rather do. I’m torn between two costumes. A TARDIS inspired dress. And an OC cosplay (it’s a character I haven’t even shown yet, cause I’ve been a bit shy to post any stuff of him). I’m tempted to do the ladder. Because I’d also use this cosplay at the Renaissance Fair which I’m likely going to attend with my family since we had so much fun there last year!
Listen, planning ahead for projects is a great idea. I see artist do it all the time. I see cosplayers give a list of their cosplay plans for that year and stick to it! Props to them! That takes a lot of will power! Will power I just don’t have. I’m easily distracted. I’m able to have some control over this. When I start a project I stick to it. It’s planning future project that I struggle with. And if I force myself to do I project when a different one is in my head, then I can’t put my heart into it.
I’m not saying the cosplays I listed will never happen. They will, but when I finall feel motivated to do them. There are other projects I’d much rather do first. So, I’m tossing the list. When I have a project sent in stone, you will know about it. I’m working on a lot of projects. Along with being bad at planning future projects, I put too much work on myself.
Editing my book, writing my next book, finishing my cosplay prop, starting to sew my next cosplay, a one or two painting projects. And that’s just art projects. I’m gonna start studying for my learners permit. Finally getting back into my workout routine. Collage starts for me in a little less than two weeks. I put too much on myself. I know that.
To be honest, I don’t know why I’m bringing it up. But I know it’s too much. I’m stretching myself thin, breathing down my own neck, raising expectations too high, getting too disappointed when things flop.
I’m gonna find a way to do all the things I wanna do. I’m gonna find balance. I’m gonna consults my family and therapist. And I’m gonna start using a planner, so that should help keep things organized!
Ok, so this started as a cosplay update. Ended as a vent. Don’t even know if anyone will bother reading this. But it feels good to write it all down. So if anyone did read this, thank you! I appreciate it! Have a good night! (Or day! I don’t know where y’all live!) And once my next cosplay is decided, I’ll start posting updates!
Thanks again!
