[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 15071, member: 1061"] Helene pretty much nailed them all on the head, and so eloquently written as well. We're lucky to have her! Writer's block, droughts, slumps...pick your term. All creative people suffer from it, so don't let it get you down. This is the price we pay for being creative. Sometimes when the fever is on, and we're cranking out idea after idea, we can do so for days and weeks at a time and be excited about what we're doing. It's easy to look out the same old boring window and feel uninspired by the same old boring surroundings. Haul your unmotivated butt out of the La-Z-Boy and go somewhere. Take the car, or better yet, take a bike or walk if weather permits. You'd be surprised how different the same old surroundings can look just from a new point of view. Or, pack up and just take a trip. It doesn't have to be far, just find something new. The key word here is different. You've fallen into a routine, and if this keeps up, being unmotivated will be your new routine. You have to induce some system shock to get those juices flowing again. If a nude model walked into your living room and offered to pose for you, I'm sure'd you'd get motivated in a hurry. Or if a Lamborghini were parked down the street, or a meteor were falling through the sky. You'd certainly pick up your camera then. Break away, think outside the box, and get going! [/QUOTE]
