Dear Wonderful, Creative You:<\/p>\n

One of the things that scares artists of all levels of experience is creative block. It’s something we talk about all the time in our Facebook group, Creative Self-Care<\/a>, but something that even professional artists confront. You can see this encouraging Instagram post from my internet art buddy Roxanne Coble<\/a>, who candidly\u00a0shared\u00a0just how deep and discouraging creative ruts can be.<\/p>\n

If you are feeling uninspired, unable to begin, or just plain stuck, you aren’t alone. Creative ruts\u00a0can be incredibly disheartening and make you question whether or not you should bother to make art\u00a0at all. I’ve found, as\u00a0Twyla Tharp suggests in\u00a0The Creative Habit<\/a>, that establishing my own creative routines\u00a0is the key to keeping my creative juices flowing consistently. (And part of those routines is taking breaks when needed.)<\/p>\n

Today I’m sharing a bit about my own creative routines over the last few years, and why they’ve helped me weave more art into my everyday life.<\/p>\n
