If it's something you MUST do, then the best thing is to just dive in and hope that the process itself will trigger that inspiration. <br /><br />In my experience, when I've come back to an old project, it's usually because I walked away from it feeling uninspired (or stuck) in the first place. That time away will often give me a fresh perspective, which gets the inspiration juices flowing again. If it doesn't work, I walk away again. I've gone through this process many, many times.<br /><br />Other times I've left a project simply because something else took priority, whether it is some other writing project or just LIFE. In those cases, I usually come back to it when the idea starts nagging at me again. <br /><br />Hope that helps!Rebecca Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06842712720778708758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25144488.post-67564636362731831272016-02-18T20:20:48.670-06:002016-02-18T20:20:48.670-06:00Any tips for how to pick up where you left off on ...Any tips for how to pick up where you left off on a project?
