Penny for your thoughts?
Please, sir, lavish me with the wisdom you carry with you.
Grant me knowledge and understanding. For your experience speaks louder than you know...
You see, I find myself at a creative roadblock. I have lost the vision I once so clearly saw. I need the inspiration to return and draw me back to the path I wish to walk. I wish not that my mind would be clouded with rainy, murky, incomplete ideas. I wish not that I produce merely an aesthetically pleasing design for the sake satisfying my lust for the visual impact du jour.
I wish not that my work be met with a simple "Yes" or "No" from those with the power of approval. Nay. I seek more than this. I seek a three letter word. The word; "WOW", with an exclamation point to seal the deal. I wish for my design to be exceptional in both function and form.

<sup>** So, I've got this client project in the early stages. It's been both fun and daunting at once, because the site is void of content. The client wants a stripped down, simple, straightforward site to efficiently communicate their message. But Simple and stripped down shouldn't equate to ugly and boring.

The above poem was my way of taking a break and collecting my thoughts, re-assessing my goals, etc.</sup>
