    I always liked Stephen King's analogy of creativity. I'm not going to quote verbatim but you'll get the jist:

    Creativity is like a well. A deep, deep well. Sometimes, you can pull water from the well for years on end; a seemingly endless supply. Sometimes you get to the bottom of that well and you have to spread your resources thin. Sometimes (rarely) the well dries up and needs time to fill itself. The well can also overflow at times.

    There, that's it. For more on this check out Stephen King' On Writing.
