Ever run across a situation where your creative juices just weren't flowing? Maybe a little case of writer's block? Lacking inspiration for a project?

I'm a writer; I totally understand that. Not only that, but I empathize with you(not sympathize, everyone knows that's BS). A small issue, this feeling of listlessness and monotonous overtones seem ever-present, can spread and become a much larger discussion up for debate when it lasts.
