    Grace, is it possible, given that your creativity stupor is centered
    around the winter solstice, that you are suffering to some degree
    from Seasonal Affective Disorder? SAD (so aptly named) is more
    common the further one is from the equator. 85% of those diagnosed
    are women. The most common form of treatment is to sit in front of a
    "light box" for at least a half hour per day (these boxes produce
    bright light, up to 10,000 lumens.) Going for walks outdoors during
    daylight hours also can help. 

    If the problem is just getting "stuck," creatively, sure, it happens
    to me. One thing that helps is getting "fuel." Either going to an
    art show or museum, or getting out in nature, seeing things that are
    beautiful and inspiring. "Soul food," in a different sense of the
    term.
