What do you do when the Inkwell Dries up
I was warned that this would happen…
People told me to be prepared…
Well that day has come…
I woke up this morning and the creative well is dry, it is shriveled up, I don’t have one thing that I feel like writing about. The productivity of the past few months is fading fast.
Could it be that I have hit a creative wall?
Did the ups and mostly downs of the past 7 days finally take their toll?
Oh my…will the thrill of writing these posts and feeling the words flow seamlessly out of my fingertips on to the virtual paper come back to me?
I am sure that tomorrow or even later today I will feel inspired…I Hope!
How do you handle creative dry spells? What techniques do you use during the creative times to help with the not so creative days? Please share.
I think we all have days like that. Here are some of the ways I come up with ideas when I'm stuck: http://www.janetbarclay.com/2009/03/13/how-to-g...
Recently I've started to organize my ideas into a Word document with headings for the various categories I use in my blog. It's already 9 pages and I'm not done yet! I don't think I'll have an excuse to run out of ideas for a while…
Wow Janet…you are always a great source for information and inspiration. I value your comments and I am sure that my readers do as well.
I keep an “idea book” where i jot ideas down for art projects. I have a million ideas that get lost in the ethers if i don't right them down! When the well runs dry i simply flip through my idea book and pick an idea that speaks to me!

hello Violette,
Thanks for dropping by and sharing.
Great idea…I will look for something small to carry around…perhaps I can even use my Blackberry…I forget sometimes about these conveniences.
