With Opulence, there was no block because it evolved organically over 20 years. I wrote when I felt like it (or after a night of partying, haha).

I do think the muse will notice you more and give you more gifts if you are diligent, so I am doing my best to be a regular worker from now on. Though mostly I'm doing marketing for Opulence to give it a good shot out there.(less)

You can copy someone temporarily (like a cover band) but do that only to flex your skills and try not to become known for it.

If you hit a wall, buy The War Of Art by Steven Pressfield. (Though Do The Work, and Going Pro may even be more useful as you try move toward completion on your project). Very helpful books for me personally.

I will say one other thing to echo Marianne Williamson's quote, it is not your right to hold onto your talent. Not only is it selfish, but it will make you sick over time. An artist needs an audience like a bird needs the sky.(less)

Illustrates a solitary ideal,
that ideas are the insects of achievement
set aloft by chromatic, galactic wings.”

“She stared at a cat too long when she was a little girl and it gave her those lovely eyes. Her body is made of mountains and rivers, and her heart is a clock full of honey.”

“Only while rushing can a river ward off putrefaction. Mosquitos seek stagnation, but the dead pool does not create them. And parasitical thoughts grow from the stagnation of indecision.”
