Still working on it

This is for Project 6 (the 3-D description). I’m still tweaking it, but let me know what you think.

You are stuck. Ideas just don’t seem to flow; you work hard to come up with little. The scary part, you just started out of the gate and already you feel washed up. The creative fuel tank runs low and the idea board empty. You are stuck, but the clock isn’t. The clock ticks away and the deadline approaches.

You start down one road only to find it dead ends after hours of work. Now you have valuable time invested here, do you dump it pack up and start over? Or do you salvage what you can, limp along for a while and pray for a spark of ingenuity? The spark appeared before, but will it come again? Doubt, the last thing you need, not now. You are stuck, but the clock isn’t. The clock ticks away and frustration sets in.

Alright, enough of this foolishness you are a designer, an artist, you fuse words and images in a single bound. Whatever you do, things will work out. Relax, pick a topic and have fun. Step out on a limb; try making something up, step out of “reality” for a change. This is not rocket science, you can do what you want, and enjoy yourself. Or will your fusings combust? Aarrgh! Still stuck, but the clock isn’t. The clock ticks away and you need aspirin.

Finally, you made a decision, have a product in hand and prepare to present. You wonder if the product in hand is another prize for the can. Maybe. You ask, “Has this been done before?” Probably, but this is your take on the issue. So, sell it, make it work, because you are stuck and out of time.
