the will to create?

I find myself in a conundrum of sorts

You see, I am somewhat of a perfectionist. If I am going to put effort into anything, I need to feel as if producing the perfect end result is possible. I think we call this “inspiration”; that magical “aha!” moment when thoughts are flowing erratically but in a way that makes sense to only you. You can envision the outcome in full detail, its nothing less than…well…perfection.

The problem, I have yet to discover my medium. I want to produce art, any art really. Scratch that, I just want to create. However, not having refined any particular method of creation (drawing, illustrating, design, photography, film, etc) I run into my wall of perfectionism. Getting started is impossible, for I cannot begin to create unless I know it will be perfect & not being particularly talented at any of the above, I cant bring myself to begin.

Sounds like a petty excuse to me, but I dont think I’m the only one…
