CREATIVE BLOCK

2 min read
How many times does an artist stare down at that blank piece of paper thinking "What on earth do I paint — Where do I put my first mark?" More often than you would imagine! It happens to all creative people actually, from visual artists, designers, poets, through to musicians and writers.

When this situation arises, you are in the grip of creative block. When you wrack your brains to come up with ideas but just can't seem to. There may be contributing factors to this state, such as tiredness, depression, environmental, physiological or psychological issues. On the other hand you could just be experiencing a period of simple low creativity.

When this happens there are a few things you can do to restore your creativity levels at will, however what you must not do is worry or fret about it. If the worst comes to the worse and you don't seem to be able to produce any work, simply regard the period as a 'holiday' or a rest. Your creativity level WILL rise again. In the meantime, utilise the time spent not creating to do positive things anyway.

Once you are ready to start working again you will know it instinctively.

"ALL ARTISTS GO THROUGH PERIODS OF 'CREATIVE BLOCK' -- IT'S NORMAL, BUT AFTER ONE SUCH EPISODE, THERE ARE WAYS OF STIMULATING IDEAS AND GETTING THE CREATIVE JUICES FLOWING AGAIN."

Hay...

I want to travel, i want to write stories, i want to draw and draw and draw all day long...

but i cant do what i want to do. too much pressure at work. too much toxicity.

i want to create films, direct one.

am i to used to my daydreaming that it's part of my everyday life.

too many concepts in mind that i can't express.

too many plans that cant be started.

i want to get out of this stupid box of everyday work.

i cant even use my talent. i cant even feel happiness.

hay... so boring.

Can't finish my story. Looking for twists.

Want to draw and draw and draw but i can't draw what i want to draw.

Listening to the same songs over and over again.

Insufficient allowance for the next 15 days.

Want to start the designing for our tshirt.

Want to buy a laptop.

So boring. . .

The Weapon.

Pencils are so versatile.
As great as an omnipotent mind.

You can create a world of your own.
Far from reality. Far from mediocrity.

Where serenity can be manipulated.
And everything can be perfected.

Like those melodramatic lines of harmony.
And those sweetest tunes of melancholy.

Keep haunting your soul.
From the shadows of your fated fall.
