Interesting topic Kimber, and one most of us here can relate to. I am just thankful I don't have deadlines because I never know when I'm going to have those "moments of clarity" or how long they will last.
Sometimes, I can go into the studio and see exactly what needs to be done - and for 10 minutes I can sculpt perfectly, effortlessly, at lightning speed - such a wonderful feeling. Then of course, I get distracted, lose my focus and later try to force that clarity when it's "time" to sculpt. Never fails that I then spend the next 15 hours straight, methodically destroying my piece, causing myself a ton of rework until I'm so frustrated I can't even look at the piece and I leave the room in disgust. If I would only sculpt during those few moments of crystal clarity, I could get so much more done!
