How do you reignite that creative spark? (lemmy.world)

I feel like I used to be a lot more creative and prolific with writing in my younger years. Lately it feels like life and age has essentially robbed me of both, like the well has run dry. I try to make writing prompts on the writing prompts community but every time I sit to write one, I can't actually think of anything unique or good. How do I deal with this?

I've found that the best things to ever happen to my creativity were playing roleplay games (like d&d) with friends and fanfiction, as silly and childish as it sounds. Creating OCs, as well. I focus on my OCs far before I focus on a story I want to write, and the most fun part of writing for me is writing characters.
