Where is the force?

I am struggling now.

I seem to have hit a weird flat and I cannot seem to find the enthusiasm to give the last Tumbleweed the physical and mental energy that it demands.

Maybe its nerves but I feel lack lustre and banal.
I cannot think about it anymore.

I will do it and I have to find the force from somewhere....

My goodness, how much do I want to finish this project but at the same time I feel anxious, disappointed and sad that it is nearly over.  I feel bereft of creativity.  I have a tremendous and overwhelming sense of 'can't be bothered'.
Its frightening.  It must be the nerves.  The pressure feels immense.  I cant seem to get excited.

OF COURSE it is part of the process ...
I have never done anything so demanding of every part of me and I am not sure who I am at the moment.  I have never done 5 large works back to back.

COME ON LOUIJI .... One more week.
Then thats it you say goodbye to the work.  They will be gone.

I will pull it off but with only days left to finish I wish I had more time but at the same time I cant face anymore.  My hands and arms and shoulders hurt.

It will be worth it in the end. 

I will do it.

I am just being melodramatic.

OF COURSE YOU CAN DO IT.
