Have you lost your creativity?

As an Indie artist, sometimes it's hard to get inspired to get up in the morning and start producing new items. So what can you do to get motivated and inspired?

Recently, I turned on the Food network and after watching a few shows I started pulling out the pots and pans and began cooking up a storm. Sometimes you just need to change your routine to get new inspiration.

There are a multitude of places where you can go to get new inspiration. As I mentioned, you can watch programs on television. You can also look in magazines or surf the internet for inspiration. It isn't wrong to look at what others are doing to get inspiration. There are people that try to make exact copies of what they see but exposing yourself to different ideas can give you a place to start a project that you can add your own creative personality to and make something uniquely yours.

If you come to a place where you feel your creativity is low, don't be discouraged. Change your routine. Pick your head up, look around, and get inspiration from what others are doing.
