Creativity drought

[swedguy]

I seem to have that right now when it comes to free sites.

I was surfing free sites for some hours today, just to see if there was something that would catch my eyes. But nothing that stood out really.

I read some articles, but nothing new in them.


What do you do when you feel like you're stuck?

[Syke]

take a holiday. get away from it all and let your mind relax.

I find getting naked and going to the local supermarket where I ask shoppers to cover me in honey seems to give me a change of latitude.

[swedguy]

Let me know when you come to a supermarket near me. I will bring some honey and Marshmallows ;)

I will have a mini vacation between Thursday and Monday. Can't wait :)

I start playing with tables first. Then background ideas. Slumps suck... go surf non-porn for a while also.

It always helps me a bit to either get away from the computer completely for awhile, or if I am really determined to keep working, go into another room and work things on out with a pencil and paper. Sometimes just putting yourself in a different mindset works wonders.....

And when all else fails I surf goofy sites and play games for a night just for something different....

[Greenguy]

Soggy's got a good idea there - and not just because I do this from time to time - LOL

Get an idea in your head - or even on paper - and then try to reproduce it using tables. Fucking around with tables is one of the more "creative" things I do these days :)

I was playing around before with pen and paper. Heck of a lot faster way to see if an idea is good or bad |bananna|

I'll give it all a shot. Thanks guys |shake|

Take a day off... go have some fun and clear your head....

(ok.. I missed the mini vacation part.... that will work! )|bananna|

Messing with tables is good!! But like Jaden and 1freepornfinder
said... get away from the machine for a while... get out into the nature... it will rejuvinate you... when you have been sitting looking at a screen and nothing constructive is happening... it is time to walk away from it for a while... even an hour or 2 will help...

:)

yea like the others have said......

also check out all sorts of sales magazines, they work better for making gallerys, but im sure it will work for free sites to :)

[swedguy]

I found some good copywriting and marketing articles yesterday. I'll compile a list with them all and post them later :)

[swedguy]

GG or Jim, is it ok to post links to articles that are from other adult wm sites?

[Greenguy]

As long as it's on topic for the existing thread :)

Most definitely.

I got pretty many new ideas and what to think about for ads. I'll post the links tomorrow :)
