Creative jobs are just about the most fun careers in the world—but they can also be the most challenging. As anyone who works in film can attest to, it can be tough to force creativity when you’re just not feeling it.

We're just about through with the first month of 2023 and I'm really curious how those New Year’s resolutions are holding up for you. Are you still eating better and getting to the gym three days a week? If the answer is yes, good for you, but if you find yourself falling a wee bit short not to worry.
