Keeping Creativity Alive

It's been a struggle, remembering how to write prose (even in the most straightforward form) when you've spent the last eight months editing, reading, and sometimes even writing purposefully uninspired political material. It's hard to find time to read, and even harder to read something filling and challenging, when all I really want is a simple novel to devour. All I want to do in my career is transition into writing, but when I sit down to do it I can barely remember how. Shouldn't my sentences be shorter, clearer, less complex? One thought per sentence, state your accomplishments and move on. Except, I'm not running for office. I'm not running at all... I'm sitting still, getting stagnant.

I wanted to write a post on keeping creativity alive, but I don't know the first thing. Stay tuned for more details.
