Thank you for sharing this! I think I’ll copy it down and hang it on the wall in front of me. It’s reassuring to know that I’m not the only one getting stuck and feeling this way :)

I love the handout–good reminders there. Every Friday when I check the topic for IF I always go through this mental process where I think to myself: “No, I can’t think of anything for that topic. I just won’t do it this week”, then I start thinking of ideas, “Ugh, that’s such an obvious approach to the topic”, then after a few minutes of wrestling with it in my mind, I’ve notice that I’ve become committed to making an illustration. At that point I can get down to work.

I also started keeping a visual file of magazine images or pictures that I can flip through when I need a little inspiring.

I don’t normally get stuck but I love the “flow” you had with all of this!

Those ideas from your class have really helped! I find that sometimes I end up going back and using some of the ideas that didn’t work at that time but even months later help to get the ball rolling on something else. Does that make any sense? I have been staring at this screen too long!

omigosh I totally just went to your blog while “goofing off” so I would not throw camera, lights, jewelry, etc. against wall in frustration! I love you so much! Thank you for giving me just what I was obviously in search of… xxoo C
