When I enter a class often times I find that there's a curse associated with working against talent, especially good talent. I never feel like I'm making progress towards talent. There is a competitive attitude in many classes that I feel pushes people towards progress. However the competitiveness I'm feeling lately is on a slow curve. I'm just not feeling like I'm making any progress at all. The problem is that every once in a while I'll feel it.
This is the in the zone feeling that everyone associates with sports. There will be a flash of inspiration and then my idea will work out great. It's like working with slot machines though. There doesn't seem to be a predictable way to make it work, sometimes it comes with music, sometimes not. Often there will be a day when the sun seems to shine just right, an idea will flash into mind and away I go. Artists often talk about their muse, but I don't have a thing that inspires creativity and I've never had to worry about a block for ideas. There isn't ever a time when something wants to come out, however there are times when those ideas don't translate to a story, or like yesterday come in the form of leave me alone I'm tired.
I've seen that there is a ratio of talent to people's work some are consistently above average and others not so much. I'm not sure what it is, some hard work I'm sure but some never seem to get better, and I'd like to find a formula for improving people in an expedient manor. Especially me.
