I work in a creative profession, and am always looking for insights into how creativity works, as well as ways to get unstuck creatively to do my best work. There are a number of blogs and writers whose work I regularly follow on the topic; the work and insights of others frequently helps re-frame my perspective. Here are some insights I've gained from them. Sparring Mind is one.

If I've learned anything in nearly 12 years of dragging heavy things around cold places it's that true, real inspiration and growth only comes from adversity and from challenge, from stepping away from what's comfortable and familiar and stepping out into the unknown. -- Ben Saunders, Arctic explorer

Sparring Mind has a great collection of articles on creativity, resilience, and how to make things that matter. Worth a look.
