Two Points of Annoyance

1. I am frustrated that I have been unable to do any real cohesive vidding since... well, since mid-July.
2. I am more frustrated by the fact that I know the worst thing I can do to future potential vidding productivity is to get in my own head about why, why, why haven't I vidded and that hasn't stopped me from doing it.

The subject is a lie, here's a third point:

3. Usually I would make a stupid random vid at this point, but I went and developed standards about these things.

All of this with Festivids coming up.

Sigh.

NOOOO! Standards are evil. Make them go away!

ETA: But seriously, I developed standards once, and they kept me from completing any vids for five years. Letting go and making random shit is the bomb.

Well, *there's* your problem!

You need to do a silly vid (promise yourself you won't show it to anyone else, if necessary) to break the vidder's block.

[Or are all those things you keep telling me about it being o.k. to not make A Masterpiece every time lies? Hmmm.....? ;)]
