Great piece. Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes, found a few years ago in FAST COMPANY MAGAZINE.

Eva Zeisel said:

“If you want to be creative don’t try to do something new. Doing something new means NOT doing what’s been done before and that’s a negative impulse. Negative impulses are frustrating. They’re the opposite of creativity and they never yield good ideas.”

I think some writers, or some types of writing, don’t really require inspiration. Poetry…your novel…fine, get yourself wound up looking for a “muse.” But some writing you just have to “do.” Copywriting is easy (for me) to just do. Then when it comes time to my “craft” I can usually get that done because I’m not incessently searching for something 40+ hours a week!

I have a wonderful friend who one day decided that he was going to move at a right angle to time and space, you might not mean to move that laterally but thinking about similar ideas on the same subject and expanding your expertise into closely related areas is a great way to help exercise your mind while not having to search too far for inspiration.
