So I consider myself to be quite a creative and imaginative person, something which I'm at least somewhat proud of. My friends tell me that my writing is great and I don't doubt that, but I really have trouble appreciating my own writing and the motivation to actually write anything at all is near non-existant.
Now, I have absolutely no talent in drawing whatsoever; I can barely draw something that's vaguely human, much less something that looks good but for a hell of a long time I've thought that writing doesn't really cut it, I've always been excited at the thought of illustrations to go with it or something. If I had that capability it would probably give me the motivation to create something again, too. Of course, the standard response to this is "Well you should practice, you're bound to improve", and of course I have tried, but the results are so damaging to my morale that I can't keep it up. I have tried following tutorials and so on but that does absolutely nothing for me, much to my dismay.
As good as my writing may be I can't say I've ever honestly felt proud of it at all. For starters (and this is admittedly quite a frivolous complaint) it attracts just about no attention whatsoever as far as deviantART is concerned, that's not to say anything about me should attract much attention, but even the (very) awful pixel art I uploaded there gets more attention, and other writers get the same: people just don't want to read unless there pictures with it. Part of the reason (though definitely not the main reason) I've always wanted to be able to create a comic or something; it's a means of telling a story I've written but it also has the appeal to people who aren't interested in reading and there's so much you can do with it.
Anyway this is kind of just my venting of my creative woes. Not too sure of the kind of feedback I expected to tell the truth, so um... yeah, that.
