To get your creative juices flowing think of yourself as Van Gogh about to paint a masterpiece or Shakespeare about to write a legendary play. It can be done and although it's not easy you should focus on just doing it and getting it done. Don't let any distractions bother you. Turn off your phone, your television and just write or paint or whatever your creative mind wants to create. Don't stop to correct yourself, don't look for tips, don't worry what anyone thinks, just finish it. You can always go back later and correct it.

Sometimes I don't feel like writing and other times I do, but it's hard to get the creative juices flowing. I have a list of bookmarks that help me get ideas. Sometimes I just pick a subject and do some research to see if I want to write about it. On occasion I just get a whole story to pop up in my head, but most times I need some sort of inspiration. It is said that imitation is the highest form of flattery. I don't know if that's true, but obviously it's wrong to copy another artist's work no matter what form of art you are creating. However, there is nothing wrong with reading a book and thinking about doing something similar or in the same genre. As long as nobody can tell what inspired the piece of work then you should have nothing to worry about. In todays' day and age with the internet, big screen televisions, movies and magazines we are constantly being bombarded with sensory overload when it comes to ideas, still there are times when you need a jump start to your brain.
