`Cos it seems to be that way for me. Rather than actually putting brush to paper or canvas, I seem to be going around mulling over potential subjects in my head. Yes I know that this is an important part of the overall work but the `thinking time` has yet to produce anything concrete. Mind you when I lived in Oxford some years ago I remember going to an exhibition in the Museum of Modern Art and the entire gallery was filled with pieces of blank white paper - it was an exhibition of paper - mmmmm.
