Embracing the Ebb: Why Creative Slumps Are a Crucial Part of the Process
Let’s be real—creativity isn’t a straight shot to brilliance. It’s as much about the quiet valleys as it is about the peaks. There are days (or weeks) where the ideas flow like magic, and others when it feels like the well has run completely dry. But here’s the thing: these slower periods aren’t just obstacles you need to "get through." They’re vital. They give you the breathing room to rest, absorb, and subconsciously piece together new ideas.
In fact, those so-called creative slumps? They’re often where the magic really begins to happen.
