All plans off the table. All projects at a stand still. Why? A major case of creative burnout. For the longest time I had a pretty good idea what I'd like to do in a train sim. I figured out what kind of railroading interested me and what kind didn't. All though it took a while, I learn how to create my own content and preceded forward with my plans. I jumped back and forth between a few train sims and learned many different technics. In the last few years I learned that making a truly historical accurate route can be much harder then it looks...even for a smaller route. I submerged myself so hard into the accuracy of the historical information, I completely burned myself right out of continuing the project...many times. Or in many earlier cases, I almost finished the project only to decide I can do a better job at it prompting me to start the project over again, and again...and again. For me this has been a vicious cycle. I sit here now wondering what I should do next. If I should even continue modeling or move on to something else. I do like "Old School" railroading 1940-1960, but that means research and plenty of it. That is the last this I want to do anymore. I'm completely burned out on the idea of research! Most younger fellows around here are into modern railroading which is ok, but it just doesn't hold my interest to invest that much time into it. I also thought about working on something completely made up or fictional. Some creators are really good at that, but somehow I don't think my creative juices flow in that direction. I did tried that path before and seem to run out of ideas pretty quick.
I'd sure hate to have all these modeling skills I learned over the years lost or forgotten. Let's say from one creator to another... what would your suggest be on what I should do?
