Calm before the Storm

I met up with a mate from Christchurch, Ian Walls, today. He is a pilot and had a layover in Dunedin before flying to Brisbane today, what a great life eh.
I took him for a trip down to Port Chalmers and on to Aramoana and we just found some wonderful light it was a gem of a morning down there with sun and fog everywhere. It was quite spectacular at times and it was also great to catch up. We got talking and came up with a hair-brained idea of getting a small group together and taking some of our art to the world. It seems like a thing that would get us both inspired to work harder at what we do.

It got me thinking...........

Why is it that we have these periods of inactivity and lack of inspiration when we are all essentially quite creative?
How do people shake this feeling, does anyone have any ideas that have worked for them that they want to share?

Just in, a VIDEO thats well worth watching that might just put it all in perspective.
