People do alot of different creative work, but all of us craft something. If it's a drawing, a photo, game, song or a nice word document. Some times you just HAVE to make something, because it's your job and a boss is telling you what you need to make, and other times you really WANT to make something. For me it's easier to make something cause I have to, than because I want to. Mostley because it's not every day that's inspiring and it's not every day I can come up with a good idea.
I been fighting this stalemate with travels. New places, new people, new experiences, new jobs. It often leads to my favourite pictures, but still it's a hassle every time I hit the road. I don't know if it's just the fact that I havent traveled enough in my life, but it gets easier every time.
Another tip people will tell you is just keep doing it. Whatever you have a problem with completing, just keep at it and it'll solve itself in the end. I really want to say I believe in this solution, but I just don't. I did this for a year with photography, and in the end I put down the camera for months and months. It just killed it for me. It became a job, and nothing I did was ever good enough, and the work just turned even more bland than it was when the dryspell started, but once in a while it does work.
All I want for christmas is new tips for how to get inspired. I need more tools for my work chest!
Untill 2016. Merry christmas and a happy new year.
