All good advice here, Alex. Thanks.

I particularly like letting oneself goof around, and not take everything so seriously.

Being so grim and serious takes the fun out of life.

I can be serious, so it's an important reminder for me too!

I love the suggestion of doing something else creative to help your writing. I didn't realize I was doing that when I started sketching a few months ago. I just was having fun doing something creative that I never plan to share with anyone, it's just for me. I think it helps me get my creative side going for writing.

Some great tips Alex, I often use the "start something new" approach, because of that I have a ton of unfinished writing projects, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, it helps with inspiration.

Yes, I don't think there are many seasoned writers who don't have a huge selection of unfinished pieces - it's part of the deal
