This is helpful! Over the summer I will be working on a novel, and I already know there will be days where my creativity will be at a low, so I'll keep these techniques in mind for when that time comes.

I just read Byung-Chul Han's latest, "The Crisis of Narration." Definitely worth a look if you're interested in the subject, and a great intro to his work if you've not yet read him.
