Our show take about 6 to 8 months to make and even with that I'm still finding it hard to get started. After talking to my sister, who is also an artist, she told me that I should always go to my studio every day, even if I don't accomplish anything right away. She said the act of being in a creative atmosphere ( instead of the office or at home) helps get the gears started. So I have been doing that. Again thanks for the impute.
