23 years in and I still stay up too late working
23 years in and I still stay up too late working.
It’s not inspiration. It’s the anxiety of not producing, the feeling that if I stop, I’m falling behind.
And the drawing I finish at 1am? I redo half of it in the morning.
Tired work isn’t more work. It’s just worse work.
Anyone else?
