It's ok to take creative breaks. It's a necessary part of being creative. Sometimes life forces you to take these breaks. My way of dealing with it is to just go with it. Maybe that means I've not had my camera out of the bag for a month or more, maybe it means that my creative outlet is cooking or baking (Mike appreciates that one).
It doesn't mean I'm no longer creative. That never stops. The ideas continue to pile up even when I'm not creating.
Anyway - I think I'm back, back to myself, back to creating.
