Here's what I think are the biggest obstacles for starting, getting through, and finishing a creative project:

Unconcious self-limitation - You unconciously limit yourself, you don't know what you're able to do and therefore settle for something less, or something else, than what you could do.

Self-limitation by public opinion - You believe what others say about what you're able to do. And it's very common for other people to want to decrease your ambition, for some reason.

Result orientation - You do it to get a result, which means you will stop if you get a bad result, or abandon the project quickly if the process isn't fun and you don't get immediate results.

Doing it for someone else - You do what you think you should do, or what you think other people want. Which could work, but rarely works in long term because it isn't necessarily what you think is fun to do.

Sensitivity to criticism - You change your mind based on what other people think. So your project is doomed to fail if you get criticism, which you often will if you try to create something unique.

Those three I would say make it difficult to establish a process that works in the long term. Which is need if you want to ever finish your project...

Perfectionism - You are never satisfied, so you will never relase anything finished.

Abandonment (and/or "toxic project starting") - You either grow tired of your current project, or get too excited about a new one (these two often coincide), which leads to you abondoning your current project.

Over-ambition, or scope growth - You plan unrealistically, without regard to your current ability. And you don't know how to limit the scope, kill your darlings and stay realistic when you realize how much bigger the project is than you thought, so it explodes and you never finish it.

... and, over-ambition almost always happen, no matter how small you try to make the project.

I would also say that procrastination is a big obstacle in all parts of a project. But procrastination isn't unique to creative projects, it feels like a pretty obvious part of being a human, so... You probably already know about that one

Things I've learned from working on creative projects for a long time: If you're very passionate about a project, consider working on it less! You need breaks to keep the joy and not take it too seriously, to be able to keep up in the long term. And you'll know better what to do and have better critique for your own stuff if you're away from it, get some space to think, and come back with fresh eyes.

This is mostly for people who tend to become obsessed with being productive, and think it will give better results (in my experience it can give _more_ results, but not necessarily better. Quality or quantity?)

My way to get around this and still be productive is to work on different projects at different times, so that I'm constantly on a break from the rest of the projects. Can't wait to see what the drawbacks from this method are in a few years...
Things I've learned from working on creative projects for a long time: Don't try to solve everything right now, with all your brain power, just because you want results! There's less frustration in figuring stuff out in the back of your head and letting it take time. Sleep on it, wait for the answer, and when it hits - that's when you stop procrastinating. This gets much easier with experience.
will update in a bit, and probably will be the last one for a while due to uhm… personal matters… But ill probably be active in some platforms hopefully

Just fixed the itchio page so you can play that visual novel in browser now, which is honestly probably a better way to play it, though it doesn't run perfectly on my computer.

@readingproject Ha! I'm sure there are plenty of people who didn't like it too. What do you dislike about it?
