Read or listen to someone else’s work.  Like Jon Anderson sings, “Don’t surround yourself with yourself..”

I'm sure this has been covered in the past before my time here. Perhaps 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?
