You are not alone. I've got tons of creative ideas swirling (writing, drawing, painting) but I'm so so stuck.
**Probably b/c of my life situation - two parents struggling with terminal cancer, I care for one, my sister for the other - a husband with Parksinson's - a 91 year old Aunt who lives one mile away who has needs and kids who are struggling in todays economy.**
My head is full and I think that is the issue. So, when I am 'this' stuck, I fill myself up again (exercise, reading, contemplation, etc.) and then give it a go. I start small, really small, working in my sketchbook, drawing and writing about the day, current events, etc. and then usually I gain speed, the creative nugget shifts into gear and I'm moving again.
Not sure this will help but I totally get where you are. Keep at it, the mere act of recognizing you are stuck is part of the journey:) :)

Thanks for your insightful comment, Kimberly. I think the stuckness is part of the process--so much gentleness around that!
