Hello readers!
After the last papercraft I've submitted, I've felt the need to put this up.
During the past few days I haven't had the will to design anything. It's not because I don't have free time (as I'm in vacations right now) but because I REALLY don't feel like it. (artblock much?)
When I started with this, it was just a hobby. It's still a hobby...but now it starts to feel more like an obligation. Some time ago I would think "oh dude, I'm bored, I'll design something lolol", but now it's more like "I'm bored...uurgh I have to finish this and this, and start with this and that" and I can't believe I'm going to type this, but I'm procrastinating on the one thing that should be my distraction when I'm procrastinating over something. (Gosh...I sound so lazy...and I am! but still, I didn't think that much.)
Maybe I just don't want to design because I'm not procrastinating over the studying, and on vacations I don't have any pressure. Maybe inspiration will come the last day of this month, when I have to go back to university. Who knows? I don't think I've lost my inspiration...it should be somewhere...hiding.
Oh, and from now on I might not be able to submit a photo of the finished model built. The place I'm printing it from started to print horrible and I'm not going to pay for bad service. I'd rather wait until I can get my hand over a printer. But trust me, my models don't have many mistakes. I never printed one of my models more than once, EVER.
TL;DR Models will come when the right time comes, and may not be able to provide photo of finished build when submitting a new deviation until I can get a new printer.

Alarmed 
But this is your thing, you get to choose what to do it and when to do it. If your old projects bore you then forget about them. Hell,you can even delete them, if you ever get that inspiration again you'll just start it over. Nothing good comes of doing them as an obligation, you'll end up printing those models more than once for the first time!
My advice, start a NEW project, forget about the old ones that by now are just annoying or boring. Don't try to figure out WHY they are like that. Awareness of the problem does not help to solve it as much as you think. I bite my nails when I'm anxious and I have NO IDEA how to stop on my own.
Btw, I'll bear in mind the NEW project stuff, I've been having some ideas for papercraft that I never really got to consider doing, but that'd be fun xD
It's been around a week, and nothing yet, but hopefully around these days it'll be back!
The only thing I want to know right now is what was it that made me start back then, and what changed until now? What is it that back then made me feel so good about it, and that now it seems to be gone...
I'm guessing only time will tell...
I believe that this is where you shouldn't be ashamed of where you are--the stage of being bored of your hobby. Instead, you should take a well-deserved rest. Be it through a cup of coffee, or giving some time to yourself. Give yourself some time to think. Maybe it calls for a day off in extreme cases. But don't ever think that you're done with your passion, because you might end up getting new ideas sooner than you realize.
I was faced with the same questions. I looked back at the younger me who was filled with inspiration and surrounded with "cool" people/things and was full to the brim with dreams and whatnot. I look back on that tiny person, and wonder that if they saw who you were today, would they be proud?
In the end, I suppose it doesn't really matter. Since what has done has been done, and the only thing to do now is do whatever the hell you want. You don't need to restrict yourself to do things you promise or you feel compelled to do. If you don't feel like designing, as much as you would like to, don't push yourself. No one can blame you either way.
It's going to be a long, long break, but it may be worth it! hopefully in a few months I'll get another model up full of glory and sparkles and I'll totally thank you for the support. And for some reason, I imagined your last paragraph as a kind of "yolo" but...in an artistic way (?) xD
