Do you enjoy the act of making things, or do you prefer to be a consumer? I'm referring to making things in general here, whether it be drawing, writing, cooking, wood-working, crafting, image or video editing, and any other creative medium you can think of. Do you like the process? Do you do it for the result? Or perhaps you don't like to create things and you just prefer to enjoy the things other people create? People can really make some amazing things, and indulging in them and enjoying them is a lot of fun, too.
As for myself, I do enjoy creating things. I love to cook, especially. I like to write, and sometimes I like to draw. I'm not very good with my hands, though, so stuff like sewing and making music is far beyond me. Sometimes when I'm writing and especially when I'm drawing, I tend to get too focused on the result and I forget to just enjoy the process of it. I think about if it doesn't end up looking good and I lose motivation. That's a hard hurdle to deal with. When it comes to cooking, though, I enjoy both the process and the result. The act of cooking at all is really fun for me, and getting to eat what I made afterward is always a nice reward for my efforts. I need to apply that more to my writing and especially to my art, too, not just my cooking...
What about the rest of you? Do you like making things? Or do you prefer to enjoy the things others make?
