It sounds like you're asking me personally, so I'll answer you personally. When I feel disappointed or things aren't happening at the speed I'd like them to, I get back to what got me into this business to begin with. My creativity.
Usually I'm in an acting class once a week, so that keeps me creative. I'll tell you, I've been out of class for about 3 months and I feel the repercussions! Therefore, I've been going to my other love... writing. And not writing for my business either! Strictly creative writing. I'll work on a script that I'd put down, not a big budget romantic comedy, but a smaller budget script that I could potentially produce. In the past, writing has turned into 4 produced projects.
If I'm so bummed out that the creative juices aren't flowing, I pop in one of my go-to rom coms. Without fail, Pretty Woman, The Family Man, Notting Hill, and two piles high of others, stimulate ideas, while I'm watching, or when I'm dreaming, or while I'm driving and on and on. It's not long before I'm back at my laptop typing out what the characters request of me.
That's my method. I'm sure there are others out there who may want to share, so let's hear from you.
