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"

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?
