Austin Kleon has instructions on a technique that helps keep him going. First draw a spiral, as tight as you can. Then...
Once you have your spiral, start annotating it with your feelings and thoughts, everything weighing on you or bothering you. (Wendy MacNaughton calls this “inside weather.”) Catalog what’s on the surface, towards the outside of the spiral, and what’s deep, on the inside.
MacNaughton's video (from "Draw Together") demonstrates how to draw your own "inside weather chart" which is excellent. [MacNaughton actually has kids draw a 6-window panel with different kinds of weather in each and talks about how this can be "inside weather".]
