Old habits are like that one Christmas movie...
I'm finding myself slipping into old creative habits. One that dies hard (see what I did with that title?)
While this sounds like actual progress, let me tell you why this is bad.
It's the habit of my brain getting in the way. The habit of not developing an idea beyond, well, an idea.
I've made zero progress on developing my TTRPG idea beyond the brief, half-page idea I came up with this summer. This is where I always got stuck when I had ideas, and why I've always stuck with short stories. This is why I fell off of being creative, because I don't have the mental agility to climb over that first basic hurdle.
This is an old habit that I am struggling to get past. I fear if I can't figure it out, this game is dead on arrival, and will just be thrown onto the heap of ideas I've had over the years that didn't get past this bit.
Hopefully I can find a way to plow through this barrier. Time will tell.
