Five obstacles to creating my altered book:

1. Time:  Let's be honest this is probably the number one obstacle for anybody.  Balancing personal life, school class time, homework, and in my case playing video games is really tough and I always try to prioritize more important classes like my modeling classes first.  That usually leaves me with not a lot of time for other homework.

2. Creative block: A lot of times I can't think of creative things to do on random objects. In this case transforming a negative book into something positive is just not working to well for me.

3. No motivation: The class is great in helping me trying to think of creative things in different ways, so I'm glad I'm in the class. However, in all honesty I have trouble giving time to classes that don't have a huge use in me getting a job in the game industry.

4. Lack of resources: I want to do the altered book with only things that I have available at my house. And for the idea I have now I'm not sure I would be able to do that.

5. Stress: With having not a lot of time to work on the altered book and even other homework creates so much stress for me.  I try to feed off of my stress to get things done, but sometimes I find myself spending an hour just thinking about homework and the stress of not getting it done before I even do anything.



Three "What Ifs" to overcome these obstacles:

1. What if I take a week or so where I prioritize the altered book/class more than I normally would.

2. What if as I do 3D modeling, where my creativity is flowing more, I think about the altered book to hopefully bring out some more creative ideas or how to do what I want in a more creative way.

3. What if take 10 minutes and just take deep breaths and really tell myself to do the homework, and try and push aside all the stress.
