A source of inspiration during
creative droughts can include having at your finger-tips a list of themes that could possibly
prompt you to write and hopefully avoid the rut of writer's-block. When given something to write about, it may come easier than thinking out of the blue what you wish to write. Writer's-block's most prominent symptom is an unhealthy stagnation, concerning
creative productivity, leaving the artist in an artistic depression. If general topics are at hand when
writing, writer's-block may be overcome, or, at least, techniques for trying to overcome it can be applied.
