Hands up anyone who hasn't ever struggled with getting ideas expressed clearly and effectively on time? Cameron Moll has some good ideas on getting a project started. Now if I can make them work for me...
Staring at a blank canvas in Photoshop (or your preferred graphics program) feels the same way as standing at the edge of a cliff waiting to go over. You’re safely strapped in, but the idea of going from standing upright to lying on your back with feet planted on the side of a rock incline is terribly daunting. But once you’ve gone from vertical to horizontal, the rest is easy, and even thoroughly enjoyable.

That article was very enlightening.
I loved the comment about the repelling. I went Bungee Jumping this summer and when I was standing at the bottom of the cliff I was like okay once im up there I'll be okay... but the hard part is getting me up there..... I walked up the cliff to the crane, scared to death.... walked out onto the crane closed my eyes and jumped before they had a chance to finsih the count to 5. I was one of the most exciting things I have ever done, I went 2 days later and did it again.
I feel that it is teh same way with anything in life especially school work, you may have no idea what you are goin to write about in that essay or what you are going to talk about during that presentation, but once you get that spark or idea in your head you are good to go, it starts to spill out, its that little push.

I agree with the article Blank Canvas Phobia. After you get a well-crafted layout, you can proceed with your ideas, as they flow from your mind. Have many plans, and different options, so that you can change them if needed. This is a very interesting, and thought provoking article.
