It's happened to all of us, but it's especially noticeable (I would believe) in the department of 1×1 RPs: you can't think of a reply to write to a post. Your partner(s) have written one helluva post, and you begin typing a reply. However, you stop halfway through, thinking, "No this is too cliché!" or "How would this character respond as I've written them/in canon?" You try multiple times but get stuck in a rut and wind up getting so frustrated that you facepalm… with your keyboard.

Funny mental image aside, I'd like to hear how everyone keeps the creative juices flowing, or what gets you out of a rut. As crazy or strange it may sound, if it helps continue a RP I would love to hear about it and discuss it!
