u/Substantial-Style-85

im 6 months in playing guitar and I feel ive been stagnant. in the sense that I just dont play chord progressions. I try to write my own but I never play other songs. with that said I have learned one song's chord progression but its pretty simple. im not good at switching chords fluently, but what I am good at is replicating the singer's vocal melody on the guitar. its fun for me to do that.

As for me, yes and no. Sure, I have plenty of ideas. Some novel, some trite, and other ideas are just stupid things that my brain comes up with to make me laugh. Ive also been able to think of creative ways to solve a situation. whether its fixing something with unconventional methods or straying away from proven methods to find a new ways to solve problems. But hen it comes to art, I dont have a problem of generating ideas but I do have a problem of creating it into a tangible thing. It’s out of laziness, stubbornness to learn fundamentals, and being scared of the final product not being how I imagined. This problem has held me back, it’s like my ideas and aspirations of what I want to creatively accomplish dont match my technical skill or what im capable of making. Whether it’s guitar or writing poetry, my ideas are just too advanced for my capabilities. The only creative hobby that im not having problems with is sewing cosplays. I experiment, I fail, I stray from proven methods, but whats separates this from my other creative hobbies is that I actually make and finish projects. I guess I just dont care about the consequences of failing in this case, the fun outweighs it.

So maybe I am a creative person. I guess my problem is I wish i could take my attitude for sewing and apply it to other creative hobbies. Im actively learning fundamentals of guitar, and allowing myself to have fun. But when it comes to poetry I just can’t seem to start writing. my mind will always randomly come up with a line that sounds good or deep or whatever, but ive never sat down and written poetry. 

Two things.

1. I dont like preset clothes 90% of the time in video games. sure the ones they give you in WOA dont look bad but im someone who spends an unnecessary amount of time trying to make outfits. so having no form of customization to clothes is sad. but, like I said, the presets are good enough so I can live with it. however...
2. why do a lot of the good fits have gloves? I dont want to wear that shit. there are some that dont have gloves, which is very nice. but the ones that have gloves upset me because those are the outfits I actually want to wear.

so overall the clothes selection being mixed at best and the lack of customization is a huge bummer. at least the game is still fun
