Your creative unconscious responds to the color of your ink. When experiencing "writer's block," switch to a different ink color, e.g. from black to blue or from green to red. Try purple too!

Of course, for a default color, there is nothing quite like black.

A story writes itself without your having to get stressed over it.

Thoughts become immortal whenever you put them in words.

Whenever you are unable to write, it is because it is time for you to read.

Never write or paint to music--it will interfere with the creative process of your psyche. Long after your work is done, you will find it difficult to recapture your original, creative state and will find it almost impossible to revise your work satisfactorily, if you have to.

Always write or paint to silence, for it is only in silence that you can listen attentively to your heart.

Creativity is born of inner suffering and hardship more than it is born of satisfaction and contentment.

It behooves the creative person, however, to seek balance and inner peace from time to time, so that he does not go over the edge and push his creativity to the realm of destruction, for only a thin line separates the two.
