But it doesn't feel like you.
The ideas feel forced.
Your choices feel unfamiliar.
You second-guess instincts that once came naturally.
That doesn't necessarily mean you've lost your creativity.

Well, I recently acquired some drawing pads and thought I would warm up a little before starting by just drawing some shapes and... oops.... they turned into sketches!!
Serendipity?
What kind of ATCs would you like to see me make going forward? 🤔

If we lose it, we're encouraged to work harder, eliminate distractions, or become more disciplined.
But creative focus is rarely that simple.
