Yes, it IS comforting to know we're not the only ones. It makes *me* feel better knowing it happens to you too! We're never alone in our neurosis are we? :) K Hey tB and welcome!

I think it's sometimes more of a scattered brain problem. Getting harder to 'get in the zone' as time goes on. It's nice when I finally get there tho. But you're right about stepping away for a while...that certainly does help. Just gotta give in to it sometimes. :) -K Another perk with working from home…naps!

Just memorizing the script a bit, then going away from pencils and paper (I choose to lay on the floor for some odd reason), close your eyes and "see" the film/show. If nothing else, you might sneak in a good nap. Nice analogy with the bottle of ketchup…sound like you could use the new squeeze kind to hurry ideas along. \';)\'

And it happens to everyone...probably even more to 'creative' humans. I think it's just all part of the process and doesn't matter if you're starting out or a professional. So it's nothing to feel bad about (even though I still do)...it just means you're an artist. :) -K Yes, I’m a regular human (imagine that!…lol).

Wed, 23 Jan 2008 09:07:05 +0000 http://karenjlloyd.com/blog/?p=29#comment-42 WOW! I must say . . . that blog is oddly inspiring. I know it's an oxymoron (wait, I don't think I use that term right). But your moments of blanking is . . . well, I think most of us have gone through it. I thought if you're a professional artists, the 'blanking' moments are not supposed to be there. Because a professional will not have these sorta thing to be worried about. You are just like a regular human, and all this time I thought super artists won't have problem such as these. Anyways, I can relate. And it inspires me to continue with my work. Because when doubts get into your head then it can shut you down pretty easily. Cannot let that happen. WOW!
