When you feel stuck in your creative pursuits, it doesn’t mean that there’s something wrong with you.

When you feel stuck in your creative pursuits, it doesn’t mean that there’s something wrong with you. You haven’t lost your touch or run out of creative juice. It just means you don’t yet have enough raw material to work with. If it feels like the well of inspiration has run dry, it’s because you need a deeper well full of examples, illustrations, stories, statistics, diagrams, analogies, metaphors, photos, mindmaps, conversation notes, quotes-anything that will help you argue for your perspective or fight for a cause you believe in.

The solution is to keep only what resonates
