I get this feeling all the time. But somehow as soon as I type it it seems to change everything. I actually have a million creative ideas I’d like to bring to fruition if only I had the time. I agree that music helps. And change of scenery. But so does alcohol. 🙂 Just ride the natural rhythm of creativity, I find it always takes me where I need to go. In fact, one of my favorite quotes is: “Periods of creative inactivity are only fertilization for the next stage.â€

I think we are too hard on ourselves when it comes to having something to say. It happens and is natural that we’d experience dry spells. Happens to me all the time! When I want to check out I turn off the phone, keep the computer off, and just BE. Go out and explore or read or do anything that isn’t involved in my on line life and sometimes inspiration finds me.

If it doesn’t well at least I had a good time!

Here’s something to try: Music. Get yourself in your own space, maybe get your brain lodged firmly between a good pair of headphones and go for a walk.

Make a playlist of music you know for sure that you absolutely love, but don’t stay in one genre, all over the map music you love. Better still if you include stuff you haven’t heard in a while (maybe because you listened/loved it to death) – good time to resurrect those.

Walking helps, reading something you enjoy and that fully engages you helps, the act of writing helps (if I’ve determined myself to write and have nothing but the blank piece of screen in front of me, I type ‘TypeTypeType’ at the top just so there’s some kindling there. I trick myself that it’s just typing practice and the only rule is to make words with the keyboard). I’ve discovered some great stuff after starting with absolutely nothing.
