Re: What do YOU do when creativity dries up?
sorry to say i havent read every post about this seemed mystery-has anyone
brought up 'the muse'? as a former painter i have rasseled w/ this forever
and a day. Albert Brooks did a weird movie about this and my feeling is
simply sometimes she visits for a long time-sometimes she is nowhere to be
found. i never looked into 'writer's block' but i think that delves into
the subject too. i just keep pluggin' away. can't find the
painter/provocateur Francis Bacon's inspiring quote, but to paraphrase:
"if life is so meaningless, why not be extraordinary"

May I add, "Now that I'm awake, what can I do about my dreams?"

it's a good thing to take a fresh look at the phenomenon and coping
strategies from time to time.
What do you do when the creative flow diminishes into a creative drip and
then seemingly dries up completely? You sit at your instrument to come up
with some new ideas and......nothing!
You have a vague sense that your passion is just not there. You might even
feel "cludgy" and awkward at the instrument. Aside from letting time pass,
would anyone like to share their strategies for minimizing time spent in
the creative desert?
