It is not unusual for writer's to experience writers block. This is a time when we just have nothing to get us going, we are stuck, and nothings on the horizon. For some this happens in the middle of a long story or paper and sometimes it can happen before a writer even starts a piece. The typical advice for writers block is leave your desk and go do something active or something that has nothing to do with writing. It is great advice however we shouldn't stop there.
As writers we need to be proactive in fighting writers block. After taking a break and doing something active consider seeking out inspiration. Read something amazing, watch a well-made movie, look at good art and let these things remind you there is a reason to keep on going and a well worth it end result is possible.
When deciding on an outfit for a special occasions most of us look at what the mannequin is wearing or attempt to mimic for a lower price exactly what is on the runway. But I'd suggest that next time you need an eye catching outfit for that special occasion to check out some design blogs or color schemes to draw inspiration from. Let them lead you to deciding on what color you want to wear and style you want to wear. Bohemian, punk, classic, or romantic. You could even combine two different styles to create an original look. It may take a little more work than recreating an exact outfit but the results that come from using something other than clothes as inspiration for your next outfit will most likely leave you more satisfied and feeling like your outfit truly expresses you.
So, don't consider this a flighty pep talk but rather practical steps to continuing in a process requiring great determination and discipline. Sometimes all we need is a little inspiration.
