Q: Hey Bill, I'm about finish a 3 year game development program but I've never made a game on my own, only assignments. I want to make something on my own. For the past 3 months I've been trying to come up with ideas but I can't seem to come up with anything I want to make. Any advice on how to get over this block? I've barely touched development for the past 3 months because of it.
A: a wise person once said to me, and i'm assuming this because everyone's wise, she said "are you sure you can really do this, because if you could do it then don't you think you would have done it already", now that might not seem like a very friendly thing to say, and i certainly didn't think so at the time, but that challenged me to spring into action, almost vengefully. i'm not suggesting you can or can't do anything but i thought i would relay this message which oddly enough jumpstarted my songwriting career
