I’ve been into video editing for a while now, but I’ve hit a wall and have no idea how to actually grow

Up until now, I’ve only done basic freelance gigs on Upwork - mostly talking heads and gaming videos. Eventually, I decided to challenge myself and make a music video entirely from scratch. I spent two solid weeks grinding on it, and honestly, that’s the only project I’m somewhat proud of.

Right now, I’m completely lost. I don’t know where to go next, what new skills to learn, what software/techniques to study, or what kind of projects to practice on to turn this into a real career — or at least to enjoy the process.

Honestly, right now it feels like torture. Every time I sit down to conceptualize a video and figure out what I actually want to make, I just shut down and lose all motivation. I really, really want to make high-quality, awesome content, but I just don’t know how to bridge the gap.

Any advice on how to find direction and stop feeling so overwhelmed?
