So how many of you have suffered from Creative Block? I have. Sure, I get bouts of it here and there and work through it but I had an episode that lasted close to a year just recently. I just could not get into my old creative rhythm. It was very depressing. I could not come up with one single image in a year that I thought was any good. Since I didn't like what I was coming up with I stopped trying almost all together. Boy, I never want to go through that again, it was like losing your magic, that makes you happy. However going through something like that makes you appreciate the times when things flow. Something I never would have gained if I had not been dry for a year.
I finally broke the dry spell by sitting myself down and making myself play with my pictures, everyday. At the beginning the stuff was bland and just what I was trying to get away from doing, but over time the imagination kicked in and things started to flow again. I would think this is similar to writer's block.
Anyway, just happy to be creating again! Would love to hear how other's over came their "blocks"!
