Basically what the title says. I haven’t been able to come up with any new ideas for months. It’s gotten so bad that anytime I try to come up with new idea, I can only think up my old ideas. I quite literally am stealing my own ideas whenever I try to think of new ones. I can’t add anything to my existing ideas because I can’t think of anything beyond what I have, and I can’t come up with new ideas because I can only come up with what I had.
I’m stumped. I know a common piece of advice is to take a break, but I’ve tried. I would even argue that not exercising my skills contributed to their decline. I love writing, drawing, whathaveyou, and I don’t want to stop doing those things just because of a block. I’ve stopped long enough because of this thing, this feels like the artist version of cabin fever.
I appreciate any feedback. Anything helps.
