Try another version of the respectful refusal

Original creative challenge · Useful disagreement

1. Use this invented starting situation: A collaborator cannot take on another piece of work.
2. Agree a clear refusal or a smaller commitment they can actually keep.
3. Make a small artefact that shows the change: a note, sketch, caption, or three-panel sequence.
4. Write one sentence describing what the artefact makes clearer. Keep this an experiment; no account, purchase, or public post is needed.
