What if it has already been done? What if it doesn't represent me? What if there isn't time to do a good job? You can do anything you set your mind to. Not every idea can be used and not every project sees completion. But the creative process must be given a chance. Keep trying. Creating something can be difficult. What if it has already been done?

I spent many years searching for the right creative outlet. Unlike you I was cursed by my inability to try anything until I was sure I would like it. Turns out life doesn't work that way. On the other hand I matured enough to determine that writing was what I needed to fill my creative urge before I committed myself to other pursuits. In a way I guess I am lucky. I also have the fear of failure and rejection. I don't think you can be a writer and not have those fears. You have depression added to the mix which magnifies all your fears. I know because I have been there. Don't give up! Keep on track by praying and seeking God's heart and he will open up to you an outlet for your creativity! I can't tell you when, or how, but it will happen. - Sean I too feel the need to create. I spent many years searching for the right creative outlet.
