I have found that there’s just meant to be cycles to creativity.  There are times when you’re going to be extremely creative and times when you’re not, and I think the times you’re not heeds the next part of the cycle.  And that’s definitely happened with me over and over and over again. For as long as I can remember, there were times when I just didn’t have anything to say. Or, if I did, it wasn’t ready to come out yet. So I sort of learned to endure those times and know that chances are the circle will come around again if I just try to be patient.
