I learned this year that the cure for writers block is reading. So many times I find the inspiration reading something else. It doesn’t have to have a related topic. It’s amazing how many light-bulb-moments happen while reading. Thank you!
So good! I've been trying to read more myself this year, often bringing a book to read on lunch break instead of scrolling through my phone. And I've loved it! It's been so nice to read for enjoyment, and even pick up some nonfiction books to learn from that now I have "time" for (because time is relative, ya know?).
The same thinking applies to art too! As an artist, there's times I hit artist's block, and there's nothing that inspires me more than looking through my older art pieces or other artists' work!

Precisely! I have found that when I read, I suddenly have a larger array of words to choose from when I write, which vastly benefits my creativity.

And love that last line, man! Nice one haha. ;)
Yes! I love this. And so true! It’s crazy how a small habit like bringing a book around whenever you go can lead to substantial change! :)
Advice well received! Thanks
Kwaku,
I’m glad it resonated with you! :)
