If my writing has hit a plateau then I need to refuel my inspiration. The most inspiration-building activities I can personally engage in are conversing with positive, faith-filled people and going for a walk to take in the awesomeness of nature and my surroundings. Most importantly, I don’t stress over so-called ‘writer’s block’. Creativity and inspiration always return, and sometimes a break is exactly what is most needed. (less)
