We all get song writing blocks that BLOCK a lot in our life, or our LIFE blocks our writing lol. Our life seems to inspire or "wet blanket" our writing. To get out of a funk I would recommend listening to something that you normally don't and on the OTHER side of the coin, find something you LOVE and LISTEN to all the time and use it as a ghost song...
