hey... my way is just don't chop....... and when you feel like chopping then it's time. I am still waiting to feel like chopping...... but then again.... life has taken over too! If you put chop block into the search bar I think there are threads about this from the last century.

Okay - the near-death experience sounds like something I just might try

Hm. Been reading lots of stories. Listening to song lyrics. Darn, there's those drugs again! Will coffee and cigarettes do?
you could try to eat two packs of cigarettes at once, drink a gallon of coffee, and wait what the near-death-experience will bring

Aw - thanks for the encouragement - it's VERY much appreciated
I've been looking at lots of pictures and photographs - and guess what? - I too "chop" in the middle of the night - I have chopping dreams and I put myself to sleep by visualizing different ways to chop things - but when I'm awake, nothing comes.
I've probably just been working too much (I'm a transcriber) so my brain is a bit fried - unfortunately, not from drugs - maybe I just need to give chopping a wee rest.
Thanks again!
Judy

While absorbing all the beauty there must come a moment your brain says: o yesss… I have to chop!
I have more ideas than time…
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night to find out that my brain is still choppin’.
I think that’s funny.
Yeah, yeah, and silly, I know! 
Toi toi toi Birdtoes! You make great stuff... so go on!

There was a time when i was obseessed by blendings, i wanted to blend anything with anything......yea with PS u can blend a table with a human back, a tv with a head, a motor with a rat... well whatever the source pic was...i just blended....tahts fun and skill-training way to do...
That sounds like a great idea. Thanks! I don't believe I know how to blend, unless I've blended without knowing it.

Um, are like all of you people on drugs?
Does Motrin count?
Anyway, tomorrow I'm going to just sit down and chop away for a while, whether I feel inspired or not.

Candron, that's a good idea - flipping the image!
I'll try it.

I haven't been posting as many entries as usual because I've been feeling massively uninspired and uncreative.
Anyone here ever felt like that, and does anyone have any tips on how to get over the chopping blahs?
I mean, I stare at a picture and I just can't think of a single thing to do except the same old same old.
Hope everybody is having a wonderful week!
Judy turn every pictures on his head, dont use your screen for this but just flip the image LOL, if this doent help stop with thinking on the picture how to make an top work of it, i always put the source in my minds andthan run trough my own pictures archive maybee theres a click with the source and start there good luck

Wow - ready - fire - aim - never thought of that, but, geez, you're right! What a great saying when it comes to the creative process!
Thanks!
Judy
ReinMan wrote: nog wrote: the key is not to think soooo hard.... don't aim the ball just throw it
All good advice here - but in the end I agree most with the JUST START CHOPPING...
Ready.
Fire.
Aim.
That will get you much further in your creative life than
Ready
Aim
Fire
Trust me on that one, I have been where you are MANY times in my life (just look at my portfolio if you don't believe me I kinda wish I'd hit DELETE a bit more often along the way! ) But mostly I've enjoyed the journey along the way. It only hurts when you stop moving!
