I understand what you mean, being productive artistically is important to nurture our soul (for lack of better word). There were many years that I was not doing art and though my life was pretty good, I felt like I was lacking something, a sense of hollowness. Then I realised I didn't feel that way when I was younger and drawing everyday. Now I am here on Steemit, and though I am constantly tired for posting regularly, I feel pretty good :).
