Trying to force creativity is never good.

Rule of art: Cant kills creativity!

Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.

I would say any creative person has that: you can't just force a topic. Whether you're a painter, you want to do a cartoon. Anything. Something may come up that's not your style or suited to what you are working on at the moment. So you file it away and hopefully find a place for it.
