I believe that feeling of dead end, is a universal experience - a close relative of the feeling of imminent failure. Dealing with Art, I do not believe in artists who don't ever cope this feeling (of which I could talk about for years - this feeling, that from your perspective, you have already been in that same spot a thousand times, making the same round, fighting the same battle over and over; not to hane won any battle, and you have won something, it is just a minor victory - it never means you can actually get out of that spiral round of the course).
