Yeah, well. This may very easily be a TOTALLY POINTLESS ENDEAVOR, but for the sake of a new topic on the board, and hearing some opinions from the mass of creative people 'round here, I shall present my dilemma.
I have a block. Artists block. Writers block. RP block. Anything that requires a shred of creativity? It's BLOCKED! I've been doing what I can to get past it, but it's really not working out too well.
So, what I want to know is... when you get a block, is there anything you do that helps you get out of it? Listening to music? Watching something in particular? Eating something weird? Just fighting it tooth and nail until it gives under your psychotic raging fury? Tell me! I want to know. ^^

Sometimes I'll listen to music and think up cracked-out ideas, and sometimes I just go for it. I draw. I RP. I write. I force it out and eventually it gets flowing again. Getting out of a rut helps, too, if I've been doing nothing but the same thing all the time.

Random discussions help alot, too. I can't even begin to think of what little bits and pieces in the IF actually came from random nonsensical discussions H2 and I have had. XD

Well, considering the plot is made up of dreams, random stuff, and inside jokes... I'd say almost all of it. XD

Don't forget the combinations of those three, too, like the chickens.
So, in a remarkable case of BoT no jutsu, the lesson of the day in being creative is....
Turn Inside Jokes into creative inspiration!

WOOHOO!
It's weird how random things can inspire you. Like how the movie Shooter... which is in no way about anything fantastical... inspired me for Tree. XD And Pyre, no less. I don't think anyone or anyTHING in that movie had ANY parallels to Tree... so weird how that happens.
