006 - How do I get in the mood to create?

What do you do when you want to get creative work done, but really don't feel like it? When you pace for hours around a project. When you're feeling uninspired, and unmotivated. When you're not in the mood to create, but you want to be.

I received a voice message from a fellow creative about this topic, and in this episode I share my thoughts on inspiration, and my best tips for making yourself inspired whenever you need to.

Mentioned:

Steven Pressfield - The War of Art

Neil Gaiman writing routine

My essay: The tough love guide to curing writer's block
