Artist's block, like the common cold, has no cure.

I have a rather unorthodox method of besting an artist's block. I let ennui roam through my head for a couple of days, and by the time that is over, I feel like I absolutely must engage in a creative activity.

The best way to go about it is to set aside a weekend. Disconnect the internet connection and disable the computer account for 48 hours. Unplug the cable TV, and remove all good books from the vicinity.
Then, sit back and wade through boring and poorly written books. Stare at the ceiling, listen to the mind-numbing radio commercials, take frequent naps and eat an excessive amount of junk food.
You will also want to starve yourself of any kind of social contact. Turn off the phone, lock your front door and don't check your mail. Cancel all your appointments, and simply do nothing. You will be bored out of your mind. You will ache for some kind of a fulfilling activity - no matter what - even after a few hours of this.
After a day, ennui will kick in. You will start getting emo for no reason. This is likely the hardest part as it will require serious willpower not to go out and attract attention by any means necessary. Stick to the plan, and endure the full 48 hours.

On Monday after this ordeal, wake up and immediately - before thinking - start smiling. Grin at everything and anything. You will find this most exhilarating. Before you start thinking, get up and start drawing, writing, singing, dancing - whatever creative activity you take part in.

I would only recommend using it as the last resort, but when you do, it will not fail. For better results, prolong the seclusion time as you see fit.
