So the furry fandom is based off art. Animal art is more what we are about, but its all art nonetheless. And what is the most terrible thing to happen to art, at least in my opinion? Blocks. Artistic blocks are one tough cookie. I know this all too well. I have had writing blocks several times, and my drawing in a whole is a huge block. Poetry makes no sense to me, and song writing - Forget it! We all have artistic blocks of one form or another at one point in our lives. But how do you alleviate this problem?
One thing I have learned recently is...video games. Now before you get up in arms about how they rot your brain and blah blah blah. Video games are a simple way of shutting down your brain and allowing it to rest for once. Especially the games that aren't about puzzle solving and complicated mazes. This means shooters, racing, I assume most RPGs. A block is when you are filled with artistic creativity and you actually work off that. Eventually when you just write and write, or draw and draw, your brain runs out of fuel and you hit a block. Think of taking a whole weekend to playing games as a stop for your brain. It can just sit there, now not working on your art, and rebuild that fuel.
And it doesn't stop at video games. Anything that you can do that doesn't require a high amount of "brain power" is good. Something like just taking walks out in the park, or leaving for a while to swim, or just spending a whole weekend staring at your cat. Anything to allow your brain to shut off for a while and refuel. This is just something I learned that I wanted to share with the most artistic people I know, furries. I guess this could also be a good place for others here to share what they have done to break a block. Or maybe some other activities you have done before or would think could help in this sort of way.
