I’ve been learning to write and the book I’m reading suggests doing Artist’s Dates. Maybe a combination of down time and these dates can help refill your creative well.
Edit: The book process is: Make a list of things that spur your curiosity(film, museum, paintings,etc…), while doing these things take notes on your ideas/thoughts and let curiosity spur some more questions.
