About this episode

Lucie Lincoln shares six tiny side quests to reignite inspiration and discusses the nature of creativity as a practice.

What do you do when the inspiration just... stops? Not a creative block exactly - more like the tap has run dry and you can't remember how to turn it back on. In this episode I've been thinking about inspiration as a practice rather than something you wait for. I share six tiny side quests that have been helping me find my way back to curiosity and creative energy over the last few weeks - including the one that surprised me most: that sometimes the most useful thing you can do when you're creatively stuck is absolutely nothing. We also get into why the word "inspiration" literally translates to "breathe in" , and what that means for what we do when we're already full. How have you been finding inspiration recently?
