Need help with my life. Where do I go from here?
To make this short and give some background I dropped out of college. I was writing a novel but I never finished it. Recently I began sculpting and people say I have a talent for it, but it is hard for me to get inspired. I also would finish the novel and I think it would be a major hit but I think I outgrew it after all this time working on it and it not being me. I still like it though. I also begin short stories I can't finish. At this point I am frustrated because I don't have a career path and I am getting older year by year. I want to be successful but I lack motivation and I think everything I end up releasing to the public is going to fail because the creative path doesn't provide security. Should I go back to school. Should I continue with the sculpting? Novel writing? Or short stories. How do I prioritize my time if I don't go back to school. Do I pick one and ignore the others? I can't waste anymore time. I want to do everything and nothing at the same time, if that makes sense.

If you’re creative and would like to pursue it as a career, I suggest you go to an art school to expand your knowledge and get better at doing it. To tell the truth, there’s little chance you will be successful in art as a career but that doesn’t mean you should quit. Especially for creative career, do NOT be afraid to fail. So if you finished a project do not afraid to show the world because they will judge your works and you can apply what they judge based on your work to improve and try again. You will get better as you fail, that’s how we all learned. If you need inspiration, travel or read books that relates to your life or watch a movie. Arts comes from the heart, this means you make arts relate to your life or what others have inspired you. Write a list of what has been interesting in your life or others. Artists will loose their interest also so don’t beat yourself up. The best bet is that you doing it, keep finding your inspiration.and find a job to keep financially stable

Either go back into education or get a a proper job and leave the sculpting and book writing as a sideline.
