I recently found myself on the receiving end of this, and I can tell you now, it wasn't pleasant! I went through various stages with it, but in the end, what I found worked best for me personally was fresh air (especially if the sun is out!), and just leaving myself be. Eventually, inspiration started coming back in its own way, at its own pace. I just had to patient and respect the process.
Also, it's always nice to have good people and friends who will go for a cup of tea or a cheeky cocktail with you when you're feeling a bit blah. Don't underestimate the power of a good, positive friend.

1) My first favourite thing about being a writer is that when I'm feeling inspired, it feels amaaazing! It's like a pure energy running through me, and I'm forever grateful for that creative force, because it gives me a real creative outlet in life. Without that, I don't know how I'd manage!

2) I get more freedom with my time. Even though I still work part-time as a lecturer and a tutor, I'm always grateful that I only have to work part-time. I love having the freedom to mainly work from the comfort of my own home, and I also love that I have the freedom to have time off whenever I want it.
