Creativity does not work on a timetable or even appear on demand. It is certainly something that does not happen every day. So some days you just do mundane chores; keeping your hand in and when the inspiration comes you will be ready to embrace it. Constantly hone your technical skills but do not expect to create a masterpiece every day. But when you have mastered your craft then great results will follow. Remember what John Ruskin wrote; "the life so short, the art so long to learn"
Wow, I never thought of creativity with such flair before. The writing and thought are priceless.
