How to Overcome Creative Block
Have you ever felt like you’ve just forgotten everything you know about your creative medium, can’t think of new idea no matter how hard you try and that there is no way you’ll ever be as good as you hope to be? I would like to take a moment here to talk about creative block, as it something all creative professionals struggle with from time to time, and sometimes for a longer time than we would like to admit. It can become self-deprecating and cause an artist to have self-doubt, feel depressed, feel useless and without a purpose, unsure of what they are meant to be doing, a kind of…
