#WritersCoffeeClub Share your current biggest creative frustration.
I have two.
1. My monthly cycle means hormonal fluctuations can both fuel and kill my creativity.
2. The nagging feeling that being creative is a selfish/fruitless activity because I grew up in a culture that demands we monetise everything and work ourselves to death.

@Emmacox of course creativity is partly selfish, but I wouldn’t fret about it. If it gives you joy or fulfilment that’s all the reason you need. And as soon as it inspires others, it’s no longer fruitless nor selfish.
