Creativity and How To Overcome Writer's Block

This is going to be a short-ish post. Just a fair warning.
 
So, what's up, guys? If you write or do something creative, then you might want to check this out. This isn't just for writer's block. It works if you're in a funk for anything: drawing, sketching, painting, crafts, sculpting, photography, etc.
 
The important thing is to keep your creative juices going. It doesn't matter what you do to keep it going--you can be a writer and paint or something to keep the creativity up. You can do all sorts of things. The important thing is that you're doing it and keeping up creativity and using your brain to think of different ideas.
 
Also, get inspired by every-day things. The little things are what make the big things, and everyone likes when big things are made from their work, no?
 
It's just that so many things tell you to just keep going and stick with it. Well, if you're blocked on something, you need to remove the block with flow. Honestly, I've never given it a ton of thought until now. I always thought that I'd just get over it sooner or later, so why bother trying to get over something that's so hard to overcome? It's actually not so hard.
 
I love to write. I also love to draw/sketch/paint. Even sculpt, when I feel like it. A lot of authors also do some form of art, just because they're overflowing with creativity, or because they wanted to keep up their creativity and not get burned out doing just one thing. You can get burned out really easily if you don't watch it, but it's different for everyone. You can even just start on another project, and that might help, just for the sake of thinking about something different and new. It really does help.
 
Anyway, that's my take on writer's block and being in a funk. Stay creative, guys.
