good advice guys. thanks for the help. I am slowly putting something together. I won't send it out until I'm totally happy. so it's not all about the cash, (maybe 60% for the cash)

"The considerable financial loss was depressing us both until one evening, when we were drowning our sorrows in a bar, I suddenly had the idea (after two dry martinis) of using two actresses in the same role, a tactic that had never been tried before. Although I made the suggestion as a joke, Silberman loved it, and the film was saved.
"Once again," he says, "the combination of bar and gin proved unbeatable."

(Aug 18 05, 14:23)nah, i'm not saying that, but this happened to me recently and I dragged it out two months and it killed me and really hurt my business. You just gotta get it done, or it will kill you.

misaligned creative vision is the number 1 cause of creative block. you just dread this one because it's not feeding your fancy.
just put your head down and gut it out becasue stalling will destroy you mentally, physically, and possibly financially.
...No pressure. Do it.

sorry to hear you're stuck...usually a walk outside for about 30 minutes does it for me..
also, award annuals, or nice looking well designed mags help...post the links the client is sending you..
that might trigger something in one of us that you haven't thought of yet..

Try killing your client in your mind. Works for me.

dude, I feel you so bad.
Today I have not done jack shit.
- piperboytoy0
ok I will try anything.
The reason why I'm so stressed is because the client is giving me these links that they like, but I absolutely hate. so i guess that's why my canvas is blank. I really don't see eye to eye with them.
