I usually sit with writer's block for a moment or two to see what it's trying to show me. Usually, it's anxiety that's come from taking on too many tasks at once and becoming paralyzed by the amount of work to do.
After I acknowledge the root cause, I take deep breaths, change the scenery of where I'm working if needed, and sit down to free-flow or journal.
That helps me with getting back on track.

I am a naturally curious person, so it doesn't take much for me to get inspired.
Whether I'm at home alone or out and about in the world, I enjoy sitting in silence and watching scenarios play out before my eyes. Depending on the what's going on, something usually sparks an idea of a story, a stanza; or an idea to build upon.
When you slow down, you'll notice how beautifully intricate our lives are -- and that alone is inspiring.

I'm currently working on a few projects: a play and a chapter book. I've had a surge of ideas come to me, and I often struggle with what project to build out next! I guess that's a good thing. :-)

Just keep writing; even if it's 15 minutes a day.
You don't have to write with a goal in mind, just get in the flow of creating and exploring because eventually, you'll find that your words have stitched themselves together without you having to lift a finger.

That I am never bored. I can use my imagination to create stories, dream scenarios, and inspirational content that resonates with people.
