Then you go through a dry period where you have to think and think but you get nothing! How do you find inspiration when you have none? Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
When I have a dry period I use that fallow time to either learn a new skill or hone what I am doing already. My daughter and I have both noticed that we go through these times not only monthly (in synch with our cycles) but also seasonally. For me this means that I focus on editing or practicing a new form of writing with which I am not always comfortable. Or I sketch and practice my penmanship. For my daughter it often means she will do some fanart or sketch a drawing or photograph from a book or magazine. |
