Start that project. It's calling to you for a reason. Now is the best time.
I have had to jump many hurdles of simply starting creative projects when they would call for me. Sometimes just starting is the hardest part, but it's always worth it. Here is why you should start that project if it's calling to you.
1. Stop Waiting - Now is the best time. If your soul is calling you towards a project, then you have to listen. The longer you ignore, the longer you postpone. Trust in the timing and like a green traffic light, go now. Because the light has gone off.
2. Building Your Body - Your body of work will be built one project at a time. But that can't happen unless you actually start. Having your own body of work is empowering as an artist because you are able to have an authentic expression of your practice. It is something under your name, not someone else's. So start building your body with this project.
3. Skillset - You must pursue artistic brilliance within your craft over time. And again, in order for that to happen, you must learn the lessons you're meant to learn from working on projects. So you need to start. And your skillset does not necessarily have anything to do with technical or theoretical skill and study by "researching" your craft. I'm referring to your inner creative genius. Work with that and develop that relationship.
4. Where you're meant to go - This project will bring you where you're meant to go. That's why your soul is calling you towards it. Stop being attached to how this all has to play out. Forget the details, that's a waste of your precious energy. Let go and follow the feeling. It will guide you to where you need to be
5. Reliable Outlet - Again, this is under your name. You are putting time, creativity, and energy into something that is yours. After all is said and done, you now have a piece under your belt. You can pursue this project with comfort knowing you are working on something for yourself and that will continually work for you.
6. Progress - It's not just about this project. There's always more. The root of your fear and perfectionism won't go away just because you ignore this project. So use this project as an opportunity to confront those things. Make progress in your life. The momentum created by starting this project will trickle into other areas and eventually the rest of your artistic journey.
And that's what it's about. The Journey. So start with this project.
