I'm still in the night shift, so half of these steps were from yesterday — enjoying walking around in the cool evening breeze. The rest was from walking around my apartment and getting in a short night-skate session.

When feeling blocked creatively after being in a phase of a lot of continuous output, something that helps me personally is to shift gears and discover new outlets for creative energy. I have wanted to start sketching and drawing again, which is something I enjoyed when I was younger but haven't done in a long time. It is refreshing to just deal with colors and forms after a long period of grappling with words.
I recently decided to dive into digital painting, so I will be working to overcome the basic peculiarities of the tools necessary — namely, a digital drawing pad and stylus — and practicing drawing and shading the "basic geometric forms" for visual art. These are the sphere, the cube, the cylinder, the cone, and the torus.
Beginning a new skill is both exhilarating and frustrating; one is impatient and wants to dive into advanced creation but needs to slowly master the basics. Will update on how all of that is going! Hope you have a great night/day.
