Re: How does one kill desire?

Do you read Buddhist literature? Like actual Buddhism, not that new age, hippy stuff. You might find it interesting.

I was an art major and I still make other kinds of things in my spare time. I think I know what you are talking about? Personally if you have an urge to do it, I think it should be made. Even if no one else likes it, or it isn't perfect or whatever. Like fanart that doesn't have perfect anatomy or something.

I think the fact that you feel compelled to do it means you need to get it out of your system one way or another. Whether you make it, cringe and hide it so that it never sees the light of day, or cautiously show it to others after realizing it came out better than expected, it is probably something that needs to be made. I always feel good completing something, though I'm almost never completely satisfied with how it turned out. I always feel like there are ways it could have been better, but I feel a kind of release when it's finished because now it's out of my mind and on paper or canvas or your computer etc.

Go for it! It's always risky to put your work and yourself out onto some media, but at least once it's there you can sort of step back and make a final judgement on that thing for yourself.
