@artemis I find this is very true too. I know some people who talk about it being like a muscle that needs to be exercised, or a pipe that needs to be primed, but I tend to think of it as inertia.

I don't think we know each other, but as one artist to another, I'm so glad to hear that you've found a way to be open to/re-engage inspiration! Best wishes for whatever flows forth ^_^
