I didn’t know you were going through a creative block; but Motivating Giraffe actually does motivate me some days when I really need it.. it seems as if Some One or something knows when I need it most. So I hope you are well, too… creative block notwithstanding.
I run into the wall more times than I’d like to admit. Sometimes it just happens… and you have to take a little break rather than spin your wheels.
we all go through creative blocks
be well
stay strong

I think that a creative block is our body and mind’s way of telling us to take a break and recharge the battery 😊
Just trying to help: 2 things
1. When my right brain – artist brain – feel spent I need to do some more left brain – analytical stuff – to offset. What are you reading? What are you working on apart from Motivating giraffe. Is it challenging enough to pull you back to the right side for a release?
2. You might try quick doodles of stuff that is not yours as a means to kick start your own thoughts. Your work illustrates an idea based on a short piece of wisdom. You might try messing around with really rough, really quick sketches of some of the verses in the book of Psalms from the Bible. It just might kick start your own creativity.
PS. Stay away from Lamentations. That might not be good for you right now.
I hope you’ll get through this block eventually. But even if you don’t, like my grandpappy used to say, “A block is a block, and if you paint a letter on a block and stack another block with another painted letter on top of the other block, well, you might begin to spell words.” I’m still trying to figure out what that means. If you have any ideas, I’d love to hear them. Have a good day! :)
