I like to think of it as having squeezed all my creativity out of the brain sponge. Which means it's time to absorb new creations, get inspired, and start in again on a project that excites me. Seeing my end goal and knowing it's possible drives me no matter how tired, frustrated, or uncertain I feel.
In all the ways. I developed my own voice and humor. I learned the skills for dialogue and structure and description. I pushed myself to the highest expectations and finally *finally* reached a level where I'm proud of my work!
