Reframe Creative Block as an Incubation Phase

You are blocked on a creative project and reading the silence as proof you are not really creative. This reframes it through creativity research: why quiet, non-producing stretches are often part of the process, and how to tell genuine incubation from plain avoidance. Good for any maker mid-block who needs to know whether to wait it out or push through.

You are experiencing a creative block on {PROJECT_TYPE} and interpret the absence of output as failure or evidence that you are not genuinely creative.

<task>
**Reframe the block using creativity research:**
1. Explain what cognitive science says about incubation and why periods of apparent non-production are often a necessary part of the creative process
2. Distinguish between a genuine incubation phase (underground processing) and avoidance (not engaging at all). Help identify which this is.
3. Identify what you are unconsciously working on: what problem is the creative mind likely processing during this apparent pause?
4. Design a low-pressure re-entry: a creative activity connected to the project that bypasses the pressure of the blank page
