Dear Debbie (2)
Dear Debbie,
I've hit a spot of artists block, where do you draw inspiration from?
Best wishes

Dear Lisa,
Well, we all will hit a block now and then so there's no point getting too worked up over it.
In fact being bored and uninspired is good now and then, because from boredom springs creativity.
When feeling totally uninspired, then my advice is to leave your work completely and do something different whilst you feel like this. Also try not to dwell on the fact that you have hit a wall, be open and receptive to your feelings and surroundings. You may find for example: that you are bored, or there may be other lifestyle factors affecting you.
When you really listen to yourself, you will find the answers come to you.
Finally, go look for things to inspire you, from books, from nature, from life. Inspiration comes from everywhere but most importantly it comes from you.
