I have several interests. As I do not want to bore readers to death by stating every one of them, I shall just talk about one.
One of my interests is drawing. I love picking up a pencil and start to draw on a piece of drawing paper. It might sound dull, but it sure isn't. Drawing relaxes me and calms me. The mere action of holding a pencil and sketching distresses me and eliminates any tension. While I draw, I will simultaneously indulge in another of my interests - listening to music. Music calms my soul as well. Even the melody of rock can soothe my nerves. Therefore, my listening of music while drawing is equivalent to a relaxing spa. Music also gives me the inspiration I need while I draw.
When going through this ritual of drawing and listening to music, I go into a semi-conscious trance ; half awake(half dead). As a result, the music I listen to sort of controls my hand and determines what I draw. For example, the songs of Linkin Park make me produce a skeletal horror that may have a vague resemblance to a fallen angel or something you might find if you open the coffin of a dead person. If I listen to classical music or something calming like Owl City, my hands will sketch out a nice peaceful landscape consisting of various natural elements like mountains and trees.
However, there ARE times when I have no idea on what I should draw. Authors have writer's block, I have an 'artist's block'. It seems unlikely, but it does happen from time to time.
