The Muse toys with me. Teases, approaches, then withdraws, flirting dangerously with my deadlines. It's not procrastination -- honest! -- I'm wrestling with my Muse.
Is it just me? I start working on projects well in advance, but I'm not satisfied without that creative element, that something special that will hook and hold. Whether I'm working on a presentation, materials for professional development, a report or an application, it almost always seems to be as the deadline fast approaces when the Muse finally gives me that spark of creativity I've been looking for. Am I unusual, or is this fairly typical?
