This. ALL THE FREAKING TIME. I need to focus on my Zelda shrine for the Blast From the Past Marathon but I keep wanting to work on other projects instead. >:

It doesn't help that the prospect of making individual layouts and subdomains for every stinkin' shrine is really dragging me down. (I used to like making individual layouts and having individual subdomains for my shrines, and now I'm like "AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR DAT")

But on the other hand, I want to get my shrines on the road and these less-likable bits are part of that... >_< bleh. Maybe I'll find a happy middle ground? :D

A middle ground is always good. I find it helps a lot in trying to do those pages that you both like and don't like. I know you can do it! :D

LOL! Nooooo I have soooo many projects I've been procrastinating on hahaha

I'm kinda torn between doing another "one-page tributes" site for favorite characters, or making separate site folders under the same subdomain. The first option greatly reduces my layout load, but it takes away some of the "punch" that an individualized layout would give. Decisions, decisions...

@Mikari I used to love it, too, but I've always enjoyed making content more...I'm more naturally a writer than an artist, and that contrast has only been exacerbated in the last few years. Now my attitude toward layouts is "one every year or so is a gracious plenty." Making an individual layout just exhausts my brain more than making content does.

Also, the sore lack of good pictures to use for layouts in some of my fandoms is another reason layouts exhaust me. SO MUCH image research and nothing to show for it, usually! >_<

Oh the lack of good images for the lesser knowns, aka "The Problem Children". I go through this too. Hard to make it work but it's doable....mostly. I love making layouts and then I'm like "I have nothing to use this for!" Or I make the layouts and that's it. The site has a title, an outline and a layout but no content.
