I feel like I could more or less copy/paste the last email I sent you to answer these questions :) Anyway, this is gonna be a bunch of cryptic non-answers from me:
What are you working on?
A writing related project that I'm not gonna share too much about. I think I just treasure the intimate creative process of it: it's just me and it - no one else. So, for now, I don't have much to say about it.
What would you like to be working on?
I would like to be working on whatever is right for me to be working on. Sometimes it doesn't seem right for me to be working directly on anything creative; sometimes it seems more right for me to be working on myself. I can have ideas of what's ahead or what the future may look like if I play my cards right - but at the end of the day, I am right here right now. I don't want to work on anything that the moment doesn't call for. How's that for a non-answer? :)
What’s holding you back?
Probably all kinds of things - and I'm gonna enjoy the pursuit of slowly uncovering them.
Hope I didn't disrespect the assignment. This is just how I felt like responding today...
I thought just the same when I saw what you wrote in that email, crazy timing. Hahaha
Honestly that’s a great “non answer.” It feels like you’re so at peace with letting things come as they come. You seem to really have the heart in the right place, putting your own self-exploration and the enjoyment of the process come first.
You absolutely didn’t disrespect the ‘assignment’ haha, no hard rules here!
I would like to be working on my game project, a specific animation/drawing exercise, and an adorable animation project.
> What are you working on?
I'm working on my game project, painting skills, and an animation video player program.
> What’s holding you back?
Psychology! It's funny; I've never had problems with overbearing stress until the past year - not in my whole life!
I remember how limited life is and who I want to be before it's all over, and I think that grants me the future-sightedness that I forgot. But all of this psychology stuff is a contrived view! So I try to take it easy.
I wish psychology wasn't my answer to this question because it used to not be a problem for me. Some day it won't be :)
And I'm excited for when I can put 100% of myself into my projects and learning because I've an exciting creative process to work on!
“Adorable animation project” sounds very intriguing! I’m guessing that there’s some connection between that and the animation video player program?
If it’s any trust I know that creativity goes through seasons for most people, maybe now you’re in one with a lull but that will most likely change. And if you still have stuff you like to be doing right now then that’s maybe a sign of what kinda stuff you need to be doing now.
So maybe it’s not a problem? Maybe it’s just the natural phase/season after what you’ve been through.

Glad to know I didn’t disrespect the assignment. Hehe.
Hope you’re having a nice Christmas time, up here in the North.
Nice, that sounds fulfilling!
Fun fun! That space deer easter egg is adorable.

Hope you’ll find your way. Happy holidays!

The program enables me to study (internalize motion -> drawing) so projects are easier to make :)
> So maybe it’s not a problem?
Yea, sometimes I contrive views and presume I know more about something than I really do (I invoke Socrates here)!
I'm optimistic :) I wish well for you!
