UPDATED Manifesto
A GAMER’S GUIDE TO GETTING OVER A CREATIVE BLOCK
Will be doing final edits before hand-in
Start from scratch is not that bad. Return to your roots
. Look back to where you came from and how did your adventure all begin. By starting from the beginning again, you get another chance to do things right. Find the match the started the fire in the first place. When you feel like quitting, think about why you started.
Take a break, go AFK. Sometimes taking a breather is what you need to clear your mind from the chaos, relax and breath.
Grab a hold of new tools and weapons. If you’re used to a sword, why not have a taste of a bow and arrow. It may be daunting to stray away from your familiar home base, however, new weapons and areas will allow you to tackle new untouched areas.
Take care of your personal health. Don’t let your health reach zero before you’ve realised it too late. The answer won’t come by wearing yourself out. Push the pause button and refuel yourself on food and sleep.
Refresh yourself and learn more. There is no limit for those willing to accept more skill and knowledge in exchange for time
Level up. Push yourself to grow past the level you have already mastered. Challenge yourself, challenge everything. Take every opportunity that comes to you even if success seems out of your reach or the task seems unfamiliar.
After every to the head, get back onto your feet. Don’t be afraid to fail or make mistakes. Mistakes are proof that you are trying. Failure is success in progressThe only real failure in life is the failure to try. It may take 10 tries or even 1000 to defeat the final boss, but as long as you don’t give up, you will eventually succeed.
Take side quests and detours from your normal set mindset. Change your routine and try something different. The path of an adventure isn’t set in stone and neither is the outcome. Add steps, remove steps, adjust steps, replace steps.
Keep your eyes open. Inspiration can happen at any moment and at any time. It can be right in front of you, but if you’re eyes aren’t open you the opportunity might slip away from you.
Jump into the deep end and drown into unfamiliarity. Hunt for that inspiration even if you have to take a path you’ve never taken before. Don’t wait for inspiration to find you, go out and make the inspiration happen.
Believe in yourself. Never underestimate the power of willpower, don’t give in. If you believe in yourself any goal is reachable. Don’t let doubt stand in your way of achieving and crossing the finishing line. Sometimes it’s confidence you need to get you through the last obstacle.
Fight every battle like it’s your last. Put your everything and give your all into every project. Treat it as your last adventure, you’re last fight before it all ends. Make each and every one be something to be remembered for.
