Composer ADD

I have had two lessons so far this quarter. In both lessons, we have only looked at the first six measures of the third movement to my trio. Today, it has grown from the original six to eighteen. I am trying to study a "Stravinski-an" (is that a word?) technique, but seriously folks, no one can make it sound as good as he does. Needless to say, it's been difficult. In general, regardless of that, I seem to have problems in expanding my sketches anyway. Do I have composer ADD? Do they have ritalin for composers who are two cents shy of writing pop songs and jingles? Oh, I can see it now....

N.S.Cho: famous (haha) composer who wrote classical pop tunes. Each piece lasting an average of 3:54 minutes, perfect for the modern day Classical music ADD audience.
