“A slump is followed by a jump!” I love that! I think some of the challenge is defining what “real success” is and to avoid moving the goalpost without acknowledging meeting the current one where it’s at!
As a former baseball player, the saying used to be, "You gotta hit your way out of a slump". Meaning, keep drawing, chin up, do the work..and then BOOM, you have a 3 for 4 day at the plate and you are off on another streak (or "jump" as you say") Good post.
Thank you. Been there, done that. I am currently trying to thrash my own way out of a slump. Fortunately, I can feel good things coming.
Funny how no matter how many times I get into one, I feel like I’ll never get out. But then …
I know….

Agree!
On point observation and positive perspective on the right kind of attitude to bring to creative block, slump, downtime, the quiet inbox etc
Thanks Kyle
Step by step, day by day, just keep on grindin´, is my motto. The jumps and slumps may feel immediate, but it´s an ongoing process.
Good luck with kicking this slump!
Thanks, Martin, and yep- ongoing process!

I like it! Yeah, this goes beyond art, for sure, Scott.
Oh boy, I needed these words. I'm in the slump too, working my way through it. High five, Kyle!
High five- we will get through
I’m currently in a slump,
looking for my next jump,
Or maybe a bump or a thump,
I no longer want to be a lump on a hump of a mump.
😄I hear ya!
That comment started out seriously but it sort of got away from me 😄
