An idea forms in my mind.
It seems flawless as I think it through, and I can’t believe how I didn’t think of it before. The concept is simple, I only need a few minutes to prepare everything I need.
I start to get everything together, to create what is in my mind.
But this isn’t how I thought it would be. My idea is full of faults, its imperfections show up one by one. I try to fix it. It can’t be fixed.
Frustration overcomes me, I want to stop, want to quit. I shouldn’t have started it in the first place. What a waste of time.
But I can’t give up. Maybe it’s not what I wanted it to be, but I can make it something else. Something original, something that will make people wonder.
The end result might not be perfect, but the process of creation and enjoying the moment, that is all that matters. Or at least I hope so.
You described the "creative notion" phenomena so well. I've had this happen to me so many times!
