I like being around other creative people. It always amplifies that in myself. A good conversation. An enjoyable song...
on the other hand, staying in the same box all the time (not doing new and novel things) tends to stunt it. Also, my analytical nature can do the same.
what gets you feeling inspired?
what prevents creative blockages?
and what creates them?
I have analytical and creative talents also. Collaboration inspires me in both science and art but my final solutions are always accomplished alone in a quiet space. I need a carefree mind for creativity. I need a focused mind for problem solving.
I make real expensive things so finance always is my hang up but science and the beauty of the possibilities of nature are my inspiration.
Inspiration cannot be bottled, sold or acquired. I find inspiration comes from anything or any situation if you are in the right frame of mind. Usually an oddity, difference or the wrong word in a conversation gets me thinking and the rest goes from there. Forcing it often produces inferior results but I have no idea what would prevent a blockage.
Geeze! I'm lost there. Trying to get my toy ready for camping is one. Fixing things is another one if the things I do. I'm a handy man kind of guy.
